479951 2006-08-21 21:49:00 I have Gmail on my computer as well as the ordinary OE account with Ihug.I have set up Gmail to forward all incomming mail to my inbox.

Occasionaly I go to Gmail and always find numerous pieces of Spam. But none of this spam has been forwarded to my inbox. All other mail has come through.

What I want to know is what is blocking the spam. I have no spam filter. I never get Spam from IHug mail. They do a wonderful job of filtering it out. But surely IHug filters it before it is forwarded to me. So how is Gmail spam filtered between gmail inbox and my OE inbox?

479952 2006-08-21 22:50:00 Interesting. Just had a look and discovered that I get that as well.

I have seen it mentioned here before that some people forward all their mail from ISP accounts to Gmail before downloading to weed out the spam. Think I might try it with a couple of my worst spam catcher accounts.
