Seriously, Apple / iCloud / .Me / .Mac / Proofpoint / whoever is in charge; your spam filters suck so bad.
The algorithm has been drinking
I get these mails with THE SAME SUBJECT AND THE SAME CONTENT all the time from strange foreign domains that I have NEVER EVER recieved a mail from. The emails are transmitted from INSAAAANE subomains like this one hbkdgkjhkbcjzac.googlemoogl.tk. I mean REALLY? Doesn’t strings like googlemooglbooblbrobl ring any bells for ya? A five year old idiot would understand that this with 99% probability is spam. (No offense, five year old idiot.) Yet your spam algorithms are all drunk and can’t seem to cope with it.
I even send you almost every single spam mail to your spam account. Can’t you make your servers at least pay attention. This is the third mail with the same content I recieve within two hours. Sometimes there are 10 mails with the same format, content, text and subject, usually all with the same funky attachment with the same filename sent from multiple CRAZY subdomains on the same domain.
The girl from Tokelau
I mean – .tk??! The island of Tokelau? Shouldn’t it be some kind of amobean logic installed on mailservers today? Like when I – for the first time in my life – recieve five mails from five different persons that all live on the same remote island in the middle of the pacific ocean, that all have registered their mail on a subdomain so complex that Steven Hawking would have a hard time remembering its URL?
Your spam detection provider Proofpoint seemingly doesnt think so. Spamscore = 0. I don’t know what suspectscore is, but I suspect it is too low.

All right! Niceeee.
I guess I’m happy that you don’t read my mails, but I would seriously allow you to read all mails from googlemooglbooblbrobl and the likes. There, I received another one. Same attachment, different filename, different body and subject, new subdomain, this time it’s ekgfkachkfdjdf.googlemoogl.tk. Oh well.
Another concern is that several of the addresses I receive spam on, have never sent a message, registered anywhere etc. So how do these spam girls/boys get hold of it? Please fix, this has been a problem for ages now…
Wow, I thought I was the only one who had recently started getting these. I’ve passed on each one to Apple.
Sadly I doubt they will respond to let us know that they have successfully blocked them.

I have noticed a big spike in traffic syndicating from RSS, so I guess we are not alone. (Anyone know the source?) To other onlookers: Although it seems archaic, Apple has an spam@me.com account you apparently can feed spam to (help pages say you have to forward it as an email attachment, so i guess iOS won’t do). Although no placebo is as tasteless as Apple placebo, I recommend you to also let some steam off via the iCloud feedback.
It’s getting ridiculous! I have been in contact also with privacyprotect.org who are the company responsible for hiding these a$$hole’s real identity.
They are an Australian-based company and they constantly reply saying that there is no evidence that they are spamming and here is their latest response in my attempt to stop it.

This fuckwit company closes EVERY SINGLE case that I send through to them without resolution, when they have an obligation on their page that they say if a company they are protecting is acting in a malicious way they will take action. BULL FUCKING SHIT they do!
I can’t even create a spam rule that can block the random algorithms that they use to generate their email domain, and this is where me.com/iCloud.com falls down.
I have never published my email address they are addressing me on to anything (not even here) so I know they are using a tick-over loop that changes one character per attempt and is just botting out the emails en-mass to any actual address that hits something with success.
Surely there is something that can be done here?
