golden_abc··on Ask HN: My Gmail is under DDoS attack, all my emails delayed, what can I do?
Thanks! I am going to try this.

But I am worried that, in this way I need to contact the sender every time one sign-up my email to newsletter. I was hoping from Google side they can solve this issue once for all. (Spams waste resources of Gmail as well)

> create a filter to delete any emails from those 3 addresses.

I am doing the same, but it takes a lot of my google drive storage space, you still need to manually click delete forever from Trash, right? And this attack delay your normal emails?

And is there any suspicious site you have published you email address? I wonder what's the attacker's target.

yes, I am already using this way to filter them to trash. But I need to manually click "delete forever" from Trash everyday, otherwise they gone fill up my storage.

Thanks for advice.

Changing email is my last option.

It's hard to change my address everywhere. What's worse, some website may send you a verify link to your old address before confirming a new address, and you need to click the link in, like 10min ~ 1hour. But I only get the confirm email days latter.

Hi Yes, I paid, but seems it didn't help on this case.

And cause there are too many of the spams, they are filling up my Google Drive space quickly... I might consider to pay for a high tier...

Hi, sorry I didn't make this clear.

Blocking is not an option. Gmail actually doesn't have such feature to let you block some senders, the "block" button in Gmail is just send those emails to Trash folder when receive them, which didn't help in my case, the email still goes to my account, and there are too many of them.
