Three years ago one of my email accounts started getting a lot of junk
mail every day. Ten or more every day. It just started all of the sudden
about 3 years ago. A few days ago it went down to just 2 or 3 junk
mails per day. Now, for the last 2 days, there are none at all. That's
great, yes indeed!
Does anybody know what's up with that?
TIA. Bill S.

To clarify I should mention I have been using a junk mail filter so all
junk goes to a junk mail folder. The sudden change is there's nothing
coming into the junk mail folder now.

Spam is the result of a process, which process involves that an address
is on a list.

Sequence: your address gets on a spamlist, your filter deals w/ its
spam, later that particular spam process 'goes away' (for some reason).

The distinct possibility exists that spamming of that address will recur
in the future, from the 'original' process or some process 'spawned'
from the previous.

If you're a MSN email customer it may be due to their habit of
seemingly blacklisting large, random CIDRs. My ISP is not on any
blacklist. In fact the Sys Admin is death on either incoming
or outgoing spam. He's been that way since I came onboard 17
years ago.

A week ago all my emails to folks on MSN started returning

<example*userid@hotmail.com>: host
hotmail-com.olc.protection.outlook.com[104.47.58.33] said: 550 5.7.1
Unfortunately, messages from [xx.zzz.66.34] weren't sent. Please contact
your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block
list (S3150). You can also refer your provider to
http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors.
[DM6NAM10FT058.eop-nam10.prod.protection.outlook.com
2023-08-20T21:19:38.865Z 08DBA0655112DAAF] (in reply to MAIL FROM command)

My Sys Admin has been unable to receive _any_ response from MSN.
And, of course, any email attempts to postmaster@ are also failed;
even tho' spec's require that email addy be open.

So, if you're a MSN email client, you may not only be getting less spam,
you may be getting a lot less legitimate email, too.

Don't companies buy email lists? That could be why that happens.
