| 472967 | 2006-07-23 10:22:00 | Hello to you all Has anyone an idea how to get rid of the spam at a ;xxx @xtra.co.nz email address? I had a look at the webmail settings but there is very little that can be done regarding spam?? Any clues? :confused: Regards Gion |

| 472968 | 2006-07-23 10:43:00 | The default should be to delete anything that Xtra has identified as spam. Then under "Allow and block messages" you can include specific domains or addresses that you don't want email from. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 472969 | 2006-07-23 18:22:00 | Thanks Paul To me it looks that xtra is not idntifying the spam properly as I seem to get quite a lot. Allow and block messages seems to me a big undertaking as the spam addresses change all the time and I would not be able to keep up with it. Comparing this with my domain email address shows the difference. So it looks that I just have to put up with it???? |

| 472970 | 2006-07-24 03:32:00 | xtra are abominable at stopping spam. For some reason they just can't/don't stop it as effectively as many other ISP's do. So there really is only one way to 'fix' this - change your email account provider. If you want to stay with xtra, you could change to a gmail account, for example. Google does a very good job at spam filtering. | linw (53) | ||
| 472971 | 2006-07-24 04:06:00 | I automatically forward all my XTRA mail to my GMAIL account & then retrieve it from there, it doesn't get everything but it's a big improvement on XTRAs spam filter. | snoopy (74) | ||
| 472972 | 2006-07-24 05:16:00 | That's an interesting, if circuitous, solution :D | linw (53) | ||
| 472973 | 2006-07-24 06:22:00 | snoopy Thanks for that, I have just done as you suggested. Let's see. Regards G |

| 472974 | 2006-07-24 09:43:00 | They recently changed it. Or improved it. Or something. Since then its been hopeless. Could try moaning at them....works sometimes. |
