Junk Emails (different addresses-looks like a story)

[longarm]

Started getting a lot more junk email recently (past two months 5 - 20 a day). All from different email addresses that appear as individuals rather than companies and seem to be bits of a story. All are picked up by Outlook and sent to Junk email. Just wondered if anybody else had experienced the same.

All the time. I get anything up to 500 a day. That's the problem with e-mail addresses that can't be changed, and that have been compromised.

The compromised addresses all filter through Spamcop, and that traps 99% of the junk. Unfortunately it also traps a tiny fraction of a percentage of the genuine stuff.
