We too are seeing a big jump in the number of spoofed senders hitting everyone who whitelists themselves in SmarterMail. Just about every messages is weighted heavy but the whitelist counteracts the effort. The answer is to tell the customers to remove themselves from their Trusted Senders list and or Address book. We also turned off PREWHITELIST to allow the weighting and adding a filter action that pulled those emails (HOLD) from the normal message flow thorugh the system.
Maybe more important we are seeing a growing number of messages spoofing other users from the recipients domain. It is almost like they are mining associations from social networking or other online sources and using those connections to use the whitelist system to allow spam in. Anyone seeing the same thing? Anyone have a new stratgey for this type of attack? Mike J --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
