Hey man! Thank you for responding!
My setup is an environment where I have:
Calix GigaSpire BLAST u6.2 which provides (via Fiber Optic): Home LAN and WiFi.
I'm getting flooded by spam emails from - I think I found: A Romanian website. I'm going to try and attach an image showing my Y! mail (anonymous "Gary"):
Maybe I have to put in a firewalla device between my FiberOptic "In" and my Calix, thereby safely blocking excessive spam emails from my home LAN/WiFi ? Dang those things are expensive, I'm thinking FW Gold or Gold+
Of course, that is my uneducated guess on what to do. I appreciate your candor Sir Network Engineer.
Optional sentence here, ignore as you like: Of course, when I'm out and about, I have to block incoming spam mail on my iPhone.
Was there any indication your Calix Internet connection is affected? Especially the public IP address assigned by DHCP? Sure, one of your systems on the LAN could have been compromised then.
For now, I would start securing your Yahoo (email) account -> https://help.yahoo.com/kb/recognize-hacked-yahoo-mail-account-sln2090.html
