[bcab] Re: Messages Rules in Outlook Express

that is interesting you mentioning the Spam list I decided to look in my Spam Box at the top of the Sent Items list in OE. It was empty.This means that since changing Server Email address All Spam has vanished. Since I had AVG before and Adaware it must be the Server an when I say not 1 I mean just that only releasing the DbX folders which were Freeserve days did I see Spam that was old a year old and more. do related to perhaps IP number? Dorothy. Any advance on my Theory ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francis E. Khan" <fekhan@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I have downloaded Spamfighter today and it has started to work for me. Some e-mails have ended up in the Spamfighter folder but I need to check the settings menu and also read the tutorial. 

Thanks for the tip.

Hi

You could use a free version of Spamfighter from here

http://www.spamfighter.com/Product_Info.asp

My wife uses it an says the following.

Spamfighter is free for private users and schools.
It creates a folder in your mailbox list and automatically puts all the
email rubbish in it.
You can read down the spam before you empty the folder if you want but I
have never found anything there which isn't spam.

If an obvious spam message gets through you can have it officially
blacklisted by clicking the option in the dropdown list which it has added 
to your toolbar, but I haven't had to use that option very much.

There is also a more sophisticated pay version.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Charles Crisp

Francis, I've been happy with SpamBrave Lite, which as the name
suggests is the free version of a fuller program. It works on statistical
likelkihood, which is a lot more effective than using message rules. There's 
nothing to stop you using both, of course.

Vince.

Hi George:

What about if I use a series of words to block out some of
the most frequest spam mail I get, i.e. gift center, shopping center,
shopping card, confirmation department, etc. but instead of the comma, use the word "or". These days I am being offered free laptops, $500 gift cards, coffee, detergents and almost everything under the sun. It is annoying and 
I have to do something.

Any suggestions about spam filters?

Francis Khan

Hi Francis,



The spam mail you are getting is actually not easy
to filter.



Idiot spammers these days are using multiple
addresses, and so simply blocking a sender is as about as much use as a
chocolate teaspoon.



Microsoft's Outlook spam filer is pretty good, but
that struggles.  Even the "paid for" spam filters are fighting a loosing
battle at times.



Best course at the moment is to keep whatever spam
protection you have as up to date as possible.



You may also want to consider setting up an e-mail
address which you absolutely never, ever quote on your web page. At least 
that help to reduce the risk from robot web scanners looking for e-mail
addresses.



George.

Hi Phil:



I have located the two volumes of the tutorial and
can read the table of contents.  However, the instructions to locate the
sections - 8.22 - do not seem to be working for me as the JAWS find facility 
is telling me that no such string occurs.



I shall have to play around with the links and see
what happens.

Hi Francis,



The address you want is:

http://web.onetel.com/~fromthekeyboard/



The tutorial you need is something like:

The full from the keyboard internet explorer
volume 1



Search for section 8.22



Be aware, though, that these tutorials are
not updated and therefore, may be describing a method which could have been 
superseded.

Hello:



Since around the beginning of
December, 2006 I have been receiving a lot of E-mails asking me to respond 
to gift cards and a host of other things and I
feel that if I can use the message
rules in Outlook Express correctly I can eliminate almost all the spam by
using specific words which, when appearing
in mail from senders, will be
deleted by my computer.  There is a "from the keyboard tutorial" which I
believe deals with this in Outlook Express and am
hoping that someone on this list
will direct me to the website concerned. Using the block sender's list to 
block unwanted E-mails might not be such a
good idea as if I block the website
I might miss other content.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Francis Khan
