email spam

[Fred Bear]

I am tired of email spam!!! anyone know of a good spam filter?

[Grimmy]

called delete or don't use the email addy and get a new one. Just don't give that one out to anyone, just people you know. :thumbs:

yep, like the griminator says, just delete your email address and rename it to something like 3xeve94u3xf3o4j89@isp.com, and you will never get any spam

alternately, your isp may provide some sort of spam blocking filters, you will need to check with them

if you have office 2003, then it has spam blocking capabilities built in that only
need to be enabled.

for prior outlook and outlook express, there are probably free downloads available,
try typing "download outlook spam blocker" in google...

there are also spam blockers that work with any program by listening on the mail port and filtering all incoming mail....

Fred I got curious myself and decided to look for some reviews/rankings. I ran across C/Net's listings of Spam filters and they have ChoiceMail v2.52 listed as their favorite. http://www.download.com/sort/3150-2382-0-1-6.html?

Oh yeah I almost forgot, it's free! :D

Salv, I have been a user of office otlook 2003 for the past 6 months and will have to say regardless of MS, it is good. There are many settings to set to make all of your spam go to a spam box. I get over 500 a day with all accounts and since I switched to this, my important e-mail is now easy to get to and the not important gets deleted.

anyone else agree?

yeah, outlook 2003 is great, but why do you mention salvation? :hmmm:

[OUTLAWS Tip]

I use Outlook 2k3. Works great. Contacts go in inbox. Others go to junk folder. A quick revue and empty the junk. If good email gets filtered into junk, I can quickly add them to the safe list.

What I do, cause I only have yahoo, I setup certain filters, and have it goto a folder, like gamemecca announcements to its own folder, and bullcrap that says free to the bulk mail folder, which helps with me, if anyone says anything free, it gets deleted instantly, I have a sendback warning to say that it has been deleted, but Im workin on it some
