For several weeks, a spammer using a consistent reply address has been getting past your spam filter. The products that are hyped vary, but each email has the sender noreply@******.net (****** is a random domain name).

I'm not sure if this the forum to report this problem, but I have been frustrated by this sudden onslaught of spam. Perhaps I've been spoiled because your filters have worked so well, but I really hope you can foil this toad.

You could create a filter to mark noreply@*.net messages as spam, but be careful -- noreply is used by legitimate companies when sending automated messages, as well.

This isn't enough information for a developer to implement a change, so I'm going to resolve it as incomplete.  (Spam is unfortunately always going to be a challenge.)

Note that the thunderbird filters learn from previous spam, so be sure to mark the ones that are spam as junk.
