I recently got a new wave of jumk mails, that kind of "click that link for no reason but do it!!". Actually they seem pretty similar...
(they both arrived within 24hours)

http://j.mp/2haRTx0 Doctors say men get much less active encouragement to use health care services than women.

Quote from: Internet pharmacy. Cheap generic medications online.

Affordable prices on a huge variety of medications http://bit.ly/2iskEpY

two different levels of "quality" as only the last one uses valid usernames for the other "recipiants".
I understand a hacker doesnt send out a hundred thousand mails like this every day. But what I dont understand is why they dont put some work into it when they do...
only adding real names for the recipients (Albert Miller, John Cena) and a fake name for himself, too (Fred) would already make it look a lot more trustworthy...
Do you have wonderful christmas mails to share, too? :)

*actually that was 2 of the 3 mails I got for christmas... ._.

EDIT2: next one arrived:
they seem to lve fake medics lately...
Quote from: No Dr. visit required + no prescription
[email protected] to ME <cencored>, garthdoc[email protected], creationspmg[email protected], eyeze[email protected]
Special deal on E.D. pills http://bit.ly/2huI0Q5
and nope I didnt open any of the links and recommend you dont do it either... ^^

EDIT (DJ): Fixed typo in topic title

What I read from i is...

> you get rich. verry rich.
> the girls will start loving you. ALL of them! (except my gf <3)
> you will be like "c programming" and join the police
> girls will love you even more (they love cops).
> you eventually help ensuring mankind's next generation (...)
> you marry a super cute japanese girl that does NOT sound like a chewing toy
> you get even richer
> you wake up...
> you start crying, seeing it was just a dream
> feels.jpg

To think we were looking at Vistaprint a few months ago when looking for a Merch store to sell CW t-shirts O.O. Anyway we did not get that many e-mails from them in our CW admin inbox after we unsubscribed, but beforehand it was quite bad.

Anyway CW inbox is pretty much being flooded by junk mail since last month so until @Streetwalrus install a Roundcube anti-spam then our admin inbox is pretty much unuseable at this point.

I have absolutely no idea how to do anti spam on self hosted mail, I don't even know how self hosted mail works. <_< @Juju if you please. :P
u/Yuki December 25, 2016, 11:34:44 PM
Anti-spam, yeah, gotta configure that one of those times.
u/p2 December 26, 2016, 12:09:22 AM
I'd love to help but I lack any pre-knowledge... :/
If theres anything I can help with anyways please let me know :)
u/Yuki December 26, 2016, 01:11:16 AM
As I probably said, if you know a bit of Linux and HTML/PHP stuff, I can always set you up with an account in the server.
u/p2 December 26, 2016, 01:17:44 AM
I know linux basics and am good at HTML, too, but I suck at php... :/
also Im not sure if teh other staff guys would be ine with it xD

Bit if there's every anything particular you need help with just feel free to ask ^^ :)
u/Dream of Omnimaga December 26, 2016, 01:23:34 AM
Solution: move to Gmail. It's the only email solution that has decent spam filtering x.x
u/p2 December 26, 2016, 01:36:18 AM
what are we currently using? Yahoo? Aol?
u/Dream of Omnimaga December 26, 2016, 06:02:44 AM
We're using Roundcube, which is hosted directly on CW server. I don't think anyone uses Yahoo nor AOHell e-mail anymore :P
u/novenary December 26, 2016, 06:19:57 AM
Roundcube is just a webmail client, it has nothing to do with spam filtering which would be on the postfix/dovecot side.
u/Yuki December 26, 2016, 06:35:45 AM
We could use a Gmail, but it's a bit expensive for more than 10 users.
u/Dream of Omnimaga December 26, 2016, 06:41:26 AM
Erm, Gmail is free (unless for multi-user accounts it's paid?)
