What email provider, or computer client software, are you using. ...for instance, gmail has 'filters' where you can auto forward messages containing keywords to a special folder or direct them to junk or trash 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So this IS a issue that thaivisa.com should try to solve, they are using YOUR website and distributing spam to your members... So I can see you avoiding at least a bit of responsibility here... glegolo Edited November 25, 2020 by glegolo Link to post Share on other sites

userabcd 964 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) I had one hotmail account for a number of years and it started receiving spam/junk email. I tried marking them as junk and to stop them coming by reporting the spam to MS and blocking them but that only made it worse, in the end I was receiving about 100 junk emails per day and eventually just deleted the hotmail/outlook account. Check on the internet about blocking junk spam email in outlook/hotmail....it seems to make the problem worse. I receive the occasional junk email in my other hotmail account but I never mark them as junk or report them to MS and it seems to be under control. My Gmail and yahoomail accounts never have any problem with junk email. Edited November 25, 2020 by userabcd Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately ThaiVisa doesn't pre-screen editor content prior to posting, so when spammers create new accounts and add their posts then disappear, those posts get added to your daily content. If the forum users don't report posted spam quickly and the MODs have yet to find and remove the spam posts early enough then the forum automatic collection routine will collect the new posts, including the spam posts, as part of the content sent to subscribed users. You should find that the actual spam posts no longer show on the forum, but this removal can occur after the collection routine ran. Suggestion: create a Gmail account to use with your existing ThaiVisa account. Have gmail filter all messages containing the unique spam keywords and send them to trash (or spam), then forward the messages (remaining) onward to your hotmail account. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
KeeTua 294 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 My guess is that your hotmail account contains your ThaiVisa username. The spammers have harvested your name from here and depending on your email settings if you open and email from a spammer and it loads images (downloaded from their server) they then know they have a live account to spam.
