202137 2003-12-22 19:45:00 I'm with Laura on this one. I let Xtra run on the first option for a few weeks to check out what it was flagging as Spam. Satisfied with the neat job they were doing, I switched to option 3 - and let them delete the lot. Absolutely great. Xtra for ever!!!! Scouse (83)
202138 2003-12-22 20:06:00 Interestingly enough it seems that spam has had a sharp increase over the last couple of months, I am in a position to see this directly and it is very noticeable.

Even more interestingly is that I use MailWasher at work to clear a mailbox or two using the DNS filters, and Xtra is blacklisted by SpamCop.... the irony there is strong.

202139 2003-12-23 07:21:00 oh bother,

now remembering that i am in business and get a fair amount of emails, daily relating to this, bookins - enquiry's etc and most of it has been posted by xtra as spam.....so i have to check it all whether it is in the spam or delete folder or all together folder, so makes no diff to me, so i have not bothered altering it and it all just comes into my inbox now,

for peace of mind i need to check it to make sure im not accidentally deleteing somethiing business wise.

and i dont bounce mail, but do blacklist a fair amount....

i can see this is going to be a long drawn out process in the eradication of spam in my inbox in the future.

that thought just makes my day....not

202140 2003-12-23 08:25:00 I haven't used my Xtra email account for nealy 10 months now . I used to get 1 or two spam messages a week but ever since that new so called xtra Anti Spam came into effect I have recieved over 50 per week on an email address that is only there in case Xtra finally come up with a better internet deal .

I actually went in and turned the sapm guard up to maximum just in case, and it aint done diddly squat .

I get No spam with Orcon or Ihug, maybe the spammers like Xtra .

As for bouncing emails well I bounce as many as they send, and if it cause propblems for the isp's then tough maybe they'll start doing something about all the spammers out there then .
