430175 2006-02-14 02:11:00 Hi All.
XP Home SP2. Xtra. The problem is Spam.
We have protection but they keep coming. Spamfighter picks up 95% of them & shifts them to another file. So far so good.
In Outlook Express it is possible to set "Message Rules". However the E-mail names & ISP addresses are rarely the same. That means I can not make a "Rule". 'Blocked sender ' list is about a mile long. Any ideas ? PJ

430177 2006-02-14 02:16:00 My parents have a xtra email address to, and only use it for friends and family and yet it is being spammed to hell. Ive made thunder bird to move it to another folder but it is still damn annoying. Prescott (11)

430181 2006-02-14 03:11:00 Get a copy of MailWasher (free version) PJ.

Once it learns what you want and don't want, it is one click to destroy them all. You delete them direct from the server so you never download anything you don't want. If not sure, you can read the message on the server before downloading (saves unnecessary traffic).

I screen a US site for about 75-100 messages a day and download no more than 5-6 per week.

Good kiwi-written software!

Cheers

I was being serious, if its getting to hard to manage then get a new addy, contact everyone in your address book, then a month later disable the old address.

430183 2006-02-14 04:47:00 as others have said but if you are not sure how to do it.,........sort out your spam filter at xtra.........firstly go here:

http://xtramail.xtra.co.nz/

then input yoru username and password.......if your xtra name is bob@xtra.co.nz jsut put in the 'bob' not the @xtra....... then your password an clik 'login' then you will be in the xtra mail box......look along the top for functions available and you'll see something called 'antispam filter' .......clik it

then set the filter to delete all spam before you see it.........problem now solved...
