[QUOTE="gotzohb, post: 1545107, member: 313497"] Normally I receive little spam with Mac and my email-settings send them to the spamfolder. Unfortunately this works only on my iMac, not iPhone or Ipad. Normally it is no problem to delete them. But since a week I receive dozens of strange spam which scare me. They consist just of senseless combinations of letters like xnwbpa or olbtby, and the sender is such a combination of letters as well. The adress is not mine but different adresses unknown to me. As with all spam I delete them immediately, but first it is annoying and not what I am used to with Mac and secondly I ask myself, what is the purpose of them. Few have a HMTL, which I do not open of course, but most are without any appendix to open. So why do I receive them? Are they a method to infect my computer? What can I do to get rid of them? Thank you for your advice. [/QUOTE]
