Is there a spam blocker that works with outlook express? One that would filter out Viagra, Penis enlargement, mortgage offers,....etc. >Is there a spam blocker that works with outlook express? >One that would filter out Viagra, Penis enlargement, >mortgage offers,....etc. A pretty popular one that seems to work well is I HATE SPAM It lets you make up a friends list to filter mail in and lets you easily add addrresses to its SPAM filter out list. It also has occasional update from the maker, in which the maker adds new key word or addresses to filter out. Some people have reported a 90 % reduction in SPAM BC&A Dave How do they make TEFLON stick to the pans ? Hello Brad, How about an application that lets you "Bounce" back the unwanted spam making it look as if your e-mail address is not valid to the spamer and blacklisting the spamers e- mail address! Its called "MailWasher Pro": http://www.firetrust.com/index.php Best of luck. >-----Original Message----- >Is there a spam blocker that works with outlook express? >One that would filter out Viagra, Penis enlargement, >mortgage offers,....etc. >. >Hello Brad, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >>mortgage offers,....etc. >>. A lot of SPAMMERS spoof their return address. That is, they use a fake or invalid address. In such a situation, your bounce would rebounce back to you. If the antispam program you're using sees the bounceback as spam too, it will rebounce the bounceback of the bounce and so on and so on . . . Will eventually overload your mailbox or mail server. Just my two cents worth BC&A Dave How do they make TEFLON stick to the pans ? |
