 * Postie never sends mail unless you tell it to. If you had a lot of spam in the
   account you set up it will notify you that the email it found was not allowed.

 * solonova, I’ve had Postie for about 15 months now and I’ve never received a spam
   in the Postie email account.
 * If you haven’t done so yet, make sure the account is something random, like [lkajbopjaedo@yourwebsite.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spamer/lkajbopjaedo@yourwebsite.com?output_format=md)(
   spammers are unlikely to come up with that address). Addresses that are post@,
   info@, sales@, wp@, etc. are targeted by spammers by their very nature. Also,
   create rules on the server itself so that only emails from authorized senders
   are accepted into the account.
 * You could also be the victim of a virus on your computer that sends spams every
   time you send an email. Check for that especially.
 * I’m with Wayne — it’s not Postie that’s causing the spam.
