I've been experimenting with using a different mail service other than Zoho. Not because I don't love Zoho, I do. There are integration reasons with other software I use that have made me explore my options.
2 times over the past month I have changed my MX records to something different than Zoho during the experiment. While it doesn't look like I will be moving away from Zoho, I did notice during those 2 times that the amount of spam I received plummeted. I typically get about 100 or more spam messages a day. With the 2 other providers I tried I was only getting 4 or 5. More astonishing is that even though my MX records were changed, my Zoho account was still getting spam email in the spam folder. All normal mail was routed to where I had my MX records changed to.
Why is that?
Is that because the spam is coming from Zoho accounts or dare I say from Zoho itself?
