Ive been getting these damn spam email jiggers but they have all come from different senders. They come to both my optusnet addy's.
I cant respond to them, I've done block sender but thats pointless, I downloaded spamihalator 0.9.9.9 (bloody useless)

gmail's spam filter does a bloody good job! :)
The Optus spam filter is very effective, however there are some issues with the email servers at the moment that are causing some spam to get through. This should be rectified shortly.

Dont worry about spam.. It will buff out..:P
The spam filter in question has been having issues lately where spam is slipping through the cracks.
It is being looked at and hopefully will be fixed shortly. You should only be getting a couple a day max.
