Email Spam Stoping technique...

[paradidle]

U all probably do this but this is in reltaion to the virus thread...
When I 1st got my email account with hotmail, i was flooded with spam, so I just ending not deleting, but Blocking all spam emails. I did this with everything, or anyone I didnt know.

3 years on, and at least 6 months, I cant remember the last email address I blocked. I never get spam, junk mail or anything!

I guess it must have worked...

still u prolly all do this anyway...

How did you manage to block them all?

I use Outlook 2003, it does an excellent job.

hotmail blocks a *LOT* of emails by itself.. most dont even get thru to your bulk email folder

Hotmail can only support 150 blocked i think...i have been doing that, but now i cant block anymore as i have reached the limit of people blocked.

I use K9 - http://keir.net

It's a nice proxy pop server that filters spam by flagging it (so that your e-mail program can do whatever with it.)

It's processes 1100 spam mails for me, and 900 good mails, lol. The great thing is, when it gets it wrong, you correct it, so it learns.

IMO its just that hotmail have improved thier spam filtering.
