68674 2002-08-06 09:27:00 I have been using Eudora Pro for many years. (currently 5.1.1) Blocking spam using the filter doesnt seem to work or probably I'm not doing it correctly. Any suggestions to get rid of the 30-40 spams I get a day will be most appreciated. hyphen (1368)

68676 2002-08-06 10:10:00 Or when you subscribe to web site, don't agree to receive stuff from third parties....... The only time I get truckloads of spam is when I tick the box - and some sites on-sell your information

68678 2002-08-06 10:17:00 are they coming from one address?
that's pretty much swat you need to block spam, is to block known spammers addresses. The problems there is that spammers tend to create random sender addresses, and blocking this will block out legitimate mail from people whose addresses you haven't met...
there is a whole FAQ on it HERE (pressf1.co.nz)

remember NEVER reply, it only confirms that you exsist
for more advise, follow the link!

IF we all put our collective cosmic thoughts together for a better world, and think vivid thoughts really hard, maybe we can make spammers heads explode, thus stopping this evil at the sours.

68679 2002-08-12 09:14:00 Thanks to everybody who suggested mailwasher. It has cut the spam down to a dribble and I've only had it installed a few days. I've told a number of friends who had the same problem - good on you Nick. hyphen (1368)

68681 2002-08-12 10:20:00 Viking.. Come on Mate loosen up. I am not a religious person, but if we could band together a few collective thoughts we might get back the NZ the way it used to be. Actually I thought that para quite funny. I suppose I will get growled by the "thought police" again now for being "off topic" & voicing an opinion. Still cheerful Poppa John. :D :D Poppa John (284)
