.....finally sorted my OE5: d/loaded 1075 mails from about 10 days back.Guess how many were spam?

[Lizard]

Er, over 20? and under 1075! did I win anything?........I never win fuck all, still I,m not bitter, I can not get into my mail account, due to 'memory' problems...........

[Deuce Bigolo]

All of them apart from mine

Why didn't you use or did OE5 disable access through this as well?

cheers

I used that Yahoo account in the interim- BTW, the problem was apparently Spamwasher 'hijacking' my pop3 account- renaming it back to the original (having uninstalled SW as a failsafe) cured the problem. But the spam still floweth freely.........
I'll use the Yahoo for 'important' stuff until I get round to changing my OE address to abate the spam nuisance...........

Correct !! You are our lucky winner !!
Your prize?














A years' supply of...........Spam.

Free Programs always come with that Risk alas

I've got my spam down to 24 a day from a high of 80

The only effective way to block all spam is basically to block every word from a to z and then tell your friends not to put anything in the subject line

What peeves me is my ISP has a filter but it comes as an extra which you buy on top of the initial package

Seems silly given that SPAM deleted helps their system

Magoo recommended Yahoo- effective filters, no spam at all. The peace and quiet is wonderful.
Have just mailed you, BTW..........

[Deuce Bigolo]

Thats not quite true with Yahoo about their filters

I set up an email with them and have received about 10 spam over the last month

Its true a lot is deleted but a few still get through

Checking email as I speak

cheers

My ISP filters spam so efficiently that I get worried it might also be filtering emails I want to receive.
