User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0 Build ID: 20150812163655 Steps to reproduce: Checked email Actual results: Retrieved email including all kinds of spam with invalid From: addresses. EX: From: Oil Change Coupons <mail@info.mund us upp ortc re atio ns.c om> See all of those spaces in the domain portion of the address? This ensures that filtering won't work. Expected results: Emails with invalid From: addresses should be automatically deleted. You could even take this a step further and check the MX record for the sender's domain. If it doesn't exist, delete it. In my sister's case, this would lead to a minimum of 60% reduction in spam.
