[Hidden-tech] Spam filter stopped working

[Robert Heller]

It is probably a 'fresh' 'invasion'. A new batch of spambots with 'fresh' spam
that [Google's] spam filters have not been set up to handle (yet) -- eg new
(bogus) addresses and domain names, new scams, new subjects, etc.

I use gmail and Apple's iPhone mail app and have never, in ten years, had this problem before. I was using the free public wifi (at a campground) that didn't require a password - which is probably the problem?
