But I forwarded everything to my Google account specifically because Google spam filters at the server level and when I did I only got maybe 5 or 10 spams a day. My old email accounts used to bring them in too. Are you getting one to two thousand of those a day? Even though they wind up in my Spam filter, they are now coming into my account, whereas they were not previously.

the hiya, hi Re:hi, good day, good morning, good evening, etc spams that continuously permeate mail systems around the world and are obvious spams. This is about higher level SPAM filtering at the mail server, before the mail even hits your account. This is not about individual account spam control. We're stuck on the wrong track here in this discussion. So when a gmail account goes rouge is there a way/process/tool to check the account or it's server setup? I know this is asking for a lot but how else can anyone troubleshoot problems with their account? I've gone thru the very good help system they have in place but so far haven't found anything about my problem. That's the whole reason I switched to gmail and it's really helped a lot till just these few days. the vastly preferred way to filter known spam. Google filters a lot of spam out at the server level so it never makes it to your inbox. The problem is that I'm now getting all this SPAM from my Google account, whereas I used to only get 10-50 a day, which my Thunderbird spam filter would then filter out. I also have a filtering addon that allows me not just mark some items as spam, but also to specifically mark good email as NOT spam.

I do, religiously train the Thunderbird Bayesian filter and have for years.
