missed-spam@comcast.net mailbox full

I regularly forward spam email to the Comcast Missed Spam mailbox, and it does seem to help cut down om the spam I get.

Unfortunately, for the last week every message I send there is undeliverable as the mailbox is full. What's up with that!

This is what I get:

      This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.     

 

Delivery to the following recipients failed permanently:

 

   * missed-spam@comcast.net

 

Reason: recipient mailbox full

I would just start deleting it.

tremblay50 Thanks for reaching out about the error message for spam. Since it started have you emptied the spam folder completly? If you are unsure how to do so:
  1. Right-click the Menu button next to the Spam folder.
  2. Select Empty Spam to erase all spam emails.

It's not my spam folder that is full, it is the Comcast Missed Spam inbox that is full, for reporting spam emails.

I empty my spam folder daily.

No, the Comcast mailbox that receives spam email reports is full:

 This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.     

 

Delivery to the following recipients failed permanently:

My apologies for the misunderstanding, @tremblay50. I just tried forwarding a test message to the missed-spam inbox, but I did not get an immediate bounce back, at least not from my Comcast email address. Do those normally come back to you right away, or does it take a few minutes? Can you please try logging in to the webmail page at https://xfinity.com/email and tell me if the spam/phishing icon gives you a similar error or bounce back?

Folder?  That's an email address that is documented here:

https://spa.xfinity.com/help/email-abuse?faq=report-spam-email

But with xfinity getting out of email, I suspect whoever used to look at that has been reassigned to something else.

I have always sent my spam messages as attachments (per their request) to missed-spam@comcast.net. for several years.

So what do we do about spam now?  Ditch Xfinity completely?

Just start deleting it.

If you go here https://spa.xfinity.com/help/email-abuse and try clicking on the Email Abuse icon you'll notice that it no longer works.  Chances are, with the migration, that Inbox has been closed, but I do not know that for certain at this point.  I'll need to make an inquiry to find out.
