Re: sortnoxington.com - stagedgarage.com - Anything else I can do to stop the spam?

Hi Mike

Thank you for your input. Please forgive me that I am not as clued up and 
I.T. literate as most appear to be on this Forum.

I just wanted to clear up a few points.

My reference in relation to 'attack' was specifically that I am getting a 
very large amount of spam emails with a specific FROM domain name. I 
appreciate that spam origins can be faked, altered etc
I percieve this as an ATTACK as it is starting to affect my business and is 
unwanted. 40/50 is a very large amount of junk I have to sift through on a 
daily basis from one 'apparent' source.
Perhaps 'sift through' is the wrong term, but since I am now reporting all 
the Spam I get BY HAND to Spamcop, and I keep on seeing 'sortnoxington' and 
'stagedgarage' constantly every day, I wondered if the two domains rang a 
bell with anyone else, but they do not appear to have done.

Example from 'Stagedgarage.com'

Example from 'SortNoxington.com'

I did exactly the same as you did and searched the net on the Domain names 
and found the webpage that you did.

I would GUESS that this particular spam company uses a FROM domain alias for 
a few weeks, and then changes it. This domain hasn't appeared for a day or 
two now. Seems 'HARBLES.COM' has taken its place for exactly the same 
purpose.

I am NOT running the JW software - In a previous message I did state that I 
was running MailWasher, which runs quite well.

In case your 'fishy' comment was that I had any affiliation with the JW 
website, I can state to you now that I do not.
I do appreciate your help, and will continue to run with SPAMCOP and try to 
assist your team by regular and early spam reports, specifically to make 
sure your blacklist runs as well as it can.
