  1. SMTP server on SpamCop list

    in Customer Reviews

    Why do Hawkhost servers end up on SpamCop now and then?  This is my biggest gripe with Hawkhost, mail stops getting delivered for a day or two at a time.

    Support is very slow to respond.

     

    Spam also seemed to have moved from Cpanel filtering, directly to individual accounts a month or two ago ("account level filters" not working).  Not real happy with that.

     

    Other than that, very happy with Hawkhost reliability.  Been with them several years.

  2. What's up with the sudden surge in spam the last few days?

    I also noticed this a few weeks ago.  I have 7 employees with "Account level filtering" set to send spam to trash folder.  Filter is "Spam Status begins with Yes, deliver to Trash".  For the past 2 years our main trash folder would get 250-350 spams per day, I'd dump approx. 2000 per week.  A few weeks ago each employee started getting an extra 25-50 spams per day, our trash folder at cPanel now gets zero.  I did not change any settings, but I did notice a new cPanel "look".  Something changed!
