I am using BT internet and have not seen one Spam email.


I'm on BT and I've had hundreds! Is this random or would someone
deliberately target this group?


Someone has definitely targeted this group. Being a very sad person, I
take 19 uk.* groups (though many only see any activity once in a blue
moon), and uk.sci.weather is the only one of those to have been hit.

Nothing here, everything normal. Using NIN through BT.

BT (in collaboration with Yahoo) does have a spam filter which seems to work
brilliantly, maybe that filtered it out.

Just come in from work and found over 4000 unread messages!
Things seem to have calmed down now though.

I'm using NIN.
Is everyone else now seeing this?


I am on NIN and only got a few hundred, spread over two bursts.


I am using BT internet and have not seen one Spam email.

That's ironic as the spammer was using btopenworld for some of the spam.
