I need some help...badly
Of course, my psychiatrist has been saying that for years.
I woke up this morning with 49 messages in my spam folder, all for something called "ecig." Each has a different originating email address, so my spam filter is no good. Is there anything I can do?

It was on the news this morning, it's the largest information breach in history.
I'll post a link to the story when I find it.

I've received several emails from major companies about the
breach with Epsilon. They are saying it was just names & email addresses (no account info. or other critical stuff). So far I haven't seen a lot of new activity.
Good for Hugh, that the NR MoJo seemed to ward them away. LOL

Did you try and use the subject instead of the email address? You filtering should have different options for filtering: From, To, Subject, Body.
Or I have changed the "from"to match what the email address has in front of it instead of the actual email address. I was getting blasted with spam emails for Zoloft. Each one of the emails had different addresses, but they all had in front of the email addresses "Zoloft Attorney". I put that in my filter in the "from" spot and it worked for all of them.
A simple way to put this is find the common denominator for all the emails and use that as your filter.
This is how it worked with Yahoo.

Wow! The power of Notary Rotary is awesome!
Since I posted my query on NotRot, I haven't received a single ecig spam. Didn't do <anything>, just posted a question on this forum. How's that for scaring off the bad guys?
Maybe we could put NotRot to work clearing the national debt.
