Lately we've been slammed with thousands of spam email from Russia, all with emojis in the subject line. It would be great to be able to filter by emoji as all attempts to block spam coming into ZD have failed.

Same here last week. We have already been in contact with support. The requesters seen in your screenshot have been the same mostly.

The product team indicated that there are some new things being implemented that should help with these issues, however blocking emojis specifically has a high incidence of false positives so that is not currently planned.
David,
I asked Zendesk support and the tech suggested using an automation that will look for the three most common Cyrillic letters and tag and close it.
I haven't been able to make it work with automation, triggers, or views but maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Hi, I've just started receiving the same spam, all Cyrillic letters.
Did you get your filter working?
Was there another resolution to this?
Thanks.

Hey Kurt,
It looks like you have a ticket related to this issue open with our Customer Care team. They'll continue working with you there to get this issue resolved.
Peter, I'm going to create a ticket on your behalf so our agents can take a look for you!
We are tackling the same problem and tried with different triggers. Unfortunately marking emails where bit.ly is in comment os subject does not help since the content is listed as "customer name" and you are not able to filter that.
The sad thing, marking the emails as spam does still display the tickets as New tickets in built-in Zendesk reporting tool
We are experiencing the same issue. Over 100 spam emails are being sent to us in different languages. Please keep me posted on how to fix this.
