When "anna1" from "anna03@neurology2025.com" wants to invite me to the "Neurotalk2025" in Nice's "Crowne Plaza" this is clearly spam. Not least because my knowledge in Neuroscience is below Scientific American level.
So this is my regular reminder: Fellows forward such mail as attachments to "spam@access.ironport.com". Forwarding "as attachment" is important - else it will not be correctly processed.
Numbers count. The more we resist, the merrier.
@rupdecat Yes, mark as spam in Outlook. Not sure whether that trains some algorithm at Microsoft or some in our institution but It doesn't work!
I might try the Cisco thing, Not sure what our uni uses.
@nicolaromano "marked" like in your mail client? I have not been bothered since sending the attachment to Cisco. Does your organisation support this filtering at all?
But yeah, these people are like a virus and very capable of altering their spam signatures...
