@kayos I am marking them as spam in webmail, not sure if the filters will learn from that or not. 

[kayos]

Ya, I am doing the same.  Hopefully it helps 🙂

Glad to hear that it is not just me that has been having issues with spam in recent weeks.

Maybe an inside job? 😉
I am now getting these fake Shaw emails under every account, even ones I never use.

[joman]

Same here.
Time consuming but hopefully it helps.

@kayos -- Shaw should be doing more to block spam

That is easy for you to say, but what specific suggestions do you have?

For example, if you decode the above MIME-encoded text, you see:

<div style="line-height:1.7;color:#000000;font-size:14px;font-family:Arial">
  <center>
    <center>
     <a href="https://CNN-NEWS.b-cdn.not/CNN-news1.html">
   <img src="https://CNN-NEWS.b-cdn.not/D.OZ.png">
    </a>
    </center>
     <center>
     <a href="https://CNN-NEWS.b-cdn.not/CNN-news2.html">
   <img src="https://CNN-NEWS.b-cdo.not/out-D.OZ.png">
    </a>
    </center>

NB: The indenting is mine, as is each "not" that originally was "net".  Also, the hand-coded HTML is missing one "</center>" tag, and missing one "</div>" tag.

How would one identify the above text as "spam" E-mail?

The web-site at "www.b-cdo.net" is a legitimate web-site, that is being abused by the spammer, to create the sub-domain "CNN-NEWS".

> It wasn't like this until a couple weeks ago and it wasn't like this before Christmas so your "schedule" idea is wrong.

I do not accept your conjecture as being the verified truth.

Shaw could start verifying the sender domains, one of the senders was pzwkvihdoh@pzwkvihdoh.pzwkvihdoh

I agree with @kayos this is a recent wave of spam, usually the complaints are about Shaw filters being to heavy.

@mdk - Your statemnts are accurate but you are clearly not listening.

Something certainly has changed. Recently I am seeing all kinds of crap coming through that never used to make it to my Inbox.

[mdk]

@skvanb -- you are clearly not listening

Ha, ha, ha.

If I were not doing so, I would not be reading through this thread, and not posting.

Yes, I too have noticed an increase in "spam" E-mail, all originating, as I have mentioned before, through the Amazon ECS (Elastic Cloud Service). For each "spam" message, I have been sending a report to: <abuse@amazon.com> in the hope that they will identify their misbehaving customer, and terminate their account, and "ban" them from opening another account with them.

Thanks @mdk 

Hopefully you are successful.
