Title: Chinese Spam/Junk Mail in the Inbox
Post by: mdsalemi on July 11, 2013, 12:03:36

All of a sudden--the past few weeks, I'm getting many junk emails all in Chinese.  There is no email from China, or in Chinese, that I will ever want.  Or, for that matter, some other non-western character set.  I'm using Outlook on a Macintosh.  At the server level, most Spam is caught and sent to the junk email folder by by ISP, ATT/Yahoo.  This Chinese &^%$ is getting through.

In the olden days on an old PC, there used to be an Outlook setting for not receiving mail in certain languages/character sets, like Chinese, Russian etc.  It does not seem to be in this version of Outlook.  If anybody knows something I don't, please share...

Sorry, not an outlook user... but on my SL113 e-mail (admin@sl113.org) account I also get Chinese junk mail.

On my gmail account, or my work account that goes through a pretty aggressive spam filter, I receive none!
