why am I getting so much spam?

Question

Sign in to vote
I apologize if I'm in the wrong place to report this but I have looked under settings and just about everything else I could find. My spam filter has always worked pretty good. The most that ever gets past it is 2 or 3 emails, but the last 2 days it has been ridiculous. Yesterday I got 6 or seven and today there is 55 emails that are spam. Are the filters not working any more or something because it's driving me crazy. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you . .

I'd check with your email provider. You can also ask in a forum that supports your mail client.

Thank you Dave, in the couple of days following my post, I received 144 spam emails. After looking around a bit more, I think I found out what I was doing wrong. I was just clicking on SPAM to get rid of them. I saw somewhere to click the drop down menu of SPAM and then "report as spam." I have only gotten 1 since doing so. Thank you for your help . .
