457194 2006-05-23 11:47:00 I have just installed 'Spamfighter' onto outlook express latest version and find surprise surprise I am getting more spam than ever before?? I used to get 10 or 12 but now it is more like 60 to 80 every day!
Should I uninstall the programme and do it manually, (tiresome lol) Or is this what I can expect now days and just live with it.

Regards to the team.

457195 2006-05-23 12:08:00 Get something like Spampal, or Poptray. Or Mailwasher. I havent tried this tho.

At least u can preview it before it gets to OE, or Outlook.

And blacklist a whole ISP, or domain. You definitely wont get anymore spam from the same place again. Or whitelist mates emails. So they'll come thru.

The Spamfighter software was o succesfull that spamers made a massive DOS attack and found a way to identify some of the users. This has forced the Spamfighter people to cease operating sadly. :horrified

"The spammer also unleashed a torrent of spam targeted to a subset of Blue Security users, which the spammer had likely gotten by scrubbing an e-mail list and then comparing the old list with the new list. Any addresses removed from the old list could be identified as Blue Security users."
