Congrats, you are getting there.
"And that was one where the sender
is pretending to be me, sending an email" I get about 3 per year of
this type.

  For reference I use Thunderbird with 9 active email addresses, one from
1990s and it was used as a 'honey-trap' (during late 1990s) for an email
filter-anti-virus-software's development so it gets all the stuff going.
A send a lot of email to Russia, PR China and other 'bad places'
(business and old friends).
In 'junk' folders I get about a total of 14 per month over the nine
email addresses. (Spam assassin  is used.) All else cut out at servers
on BT, Google, my own domains, and Switzerland servers.
  So you are getting there.
keep it up.


Thanks. I did set up just two in the white list yesterday. Ones which have mistakenly gone into junk in the past. And, by chance, one arrived today.

So far today just the one has got through, which I can understand. Otherwise, none at all. Normally, by now, at least 60 or 70 would have arrived.

Thanks for all the help,

Neil
