8. I am getting a bunch that has some kind of "gift" from a major business

(eg Kohl's, Southwest airline on and on). The sender is a long string of symbols and it changes of every email. I don't open them and mark them as 'phishing' but the email provider seems to have a hard time getting them in its sights.

they are almost like the email version of the covid virus. It literally changes with every iteration.

Just thought I would mention it in case others get hit by them. Been going on for @ 2 months now with about ten to tweety a day
