Spam Email from clialiedge.com

[Pesala]

I have been getting this spam for some weeks now, nearly every day.

A search for clialiedge.com does not help to find a solution.

The domain is hosted by Amazon; the email address used is always different: a dozen or so randomly generated letters followed by clialiedge.com e.g. [email protected] so adding to a blacklist achieves precisely nothing.

Has anyone else been pestered by these, or found a solution? I would have thought the domain would have been banned by now.

One might try this method, but I fear that it would take way too much time and energy.

The instruction is to copy the mail header and paste in the bug report. See Help Page.
I haven't got a single spam on my vivaldi account.

@lamarca Perhaps I should have said that this is not vivaldi.net email. If it was, it should have posted in the Webmail forum.

Most of it comes to my NTL account (that is from the days before Virgin Media took over). The mail is hosted on Gmail. Some spam comes to my Gmail account too.

The spam has to be reported to Mail service. You activated the "forward to", don't you?

It is a domain from Singapore that was reported on many occasions
185.200.117.51 IP Address
https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/185.200.117.51

Maybe creating a rule, not for the whole direction, but "contains clialiedge" can help

@Catweazle I set up a filter like this:

@Gwen-Dragon I found this thread on the Virgin Media forums on advice for blocking an entire domain. Surprise, surprise! It is also about clialiedge.com.

I see no way to report the spam to Virgin. They obviously know about this one already, but have not blocked it. I wonder why not?

Report it to your mail provider ....

The provider security server needs the mail header only.

they can block the domain for your account

It's a remote possibility ....

The ISP's have enough technology to keep the blacklisted domains trash in hold inside their server instead of releasing them.

The problem is also that Vivaldi mail is linked to the nick of the user, with this it is easy to publicly know the e-mail of each user, which is in my opinion a breach in security. Reason also why I do not use Vivaldi mail for important things, even so the spamfilter that I have accumulated in Vivaldi mail is as long as my arm.

Not really. I don't understand it as a security issue. There is a mail name generator software able to create millions of accounts per second, and the ISP knows .....

The ISP, but in a public forum like this one, everybody without any generator software.
The result is more spam than in any other mails I use

This is the result of their policy, not holding the fake accounts

Sorry, I didn't explain clearly. We are victims of that software.
I prefer not to say my opinion (point of view) why it happens.

After several attempts, I also got their abuse mail address. Not sure if it's convenient to post the info here. They are doing everything to be "obscured"....
