Rik,
I am very fussy about Spyware and Junk e-mail and run daily scans and message rules for e-mail etc, so I am pretty sure it is nothing on my PC causing the problems. I did wonder if it was because I was using Adobe's latest flash player ( 64 Bit ) causing the Login problems with IDNET?.
The Junk e-mail is getting ridiculous, today the regularity has increased to every 20 minutes, the same e-mail over and over. Message rules to bounce to sender have no effect.

I've checked the website and the status page and customer portal are both down.

Email, otoh, for me, is fine, both idnet.com -> idnet.com and from my domain to idnet.com.

As I say, the website does seem to have issues now, Mo, and I've alerted IDNet. Email, otoh, is working just fine. I'd suggest a call to support on Monday as they really need to look at your setup.

My email seems fine, although I don't use my IDnet email for anything so I never get an email

I read some time ago that 'bouncing' emails sometimes backfires, as clever spammers can detect that the bounce is 'false', and that the email account is actually live. This could explain why the instances have increased. I use Mail Washer, but simply delete spam off the server, instead of 'bouncing' it.

A bit like responding to ICMP traffic.
