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

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.

@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.

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.
