well - I'm committed to OE - so I'm stuck with outside programs...
I can set up block in OE - with blocking subjects, or from's or the body -
from's are pretty useless in any e-mail system since they always change. You
can use the ending but so many are forged with yahoo that you can't block them
- I've blocked with subject lines successfully. message body's don't do as good
of a job. I put to look for the word P*nis - and just about every e-mail got
blocked !never did figure out why that happened!! LOL

Depending on the e-mail program you use, you should be able to make a
filter that stops such SPAM. In poco, I can make filters that look in
the body for words that I don't want like viag*a, pe*is, etc. It
deletes them.............or dumps them in a folder I named SPAM so I
can check and make sure it didn't dump a joke from a friend or
something <G> The point I'm trying to make is that if you use a good
e-mail program, you can filter quite efficiently and don't have to use
outside programs.

| MailWasher is *not* a proxy service. SpamAlert is. Your email
| is not sent to another site to be verified. It simply intercept
| the headers (and optionally the messages) at *your own server*.
| The addresses can be cross-referenced to blacklists, but the
| true power is in using regular expressions filtering to weed out
| what you want to bounce. It works. I've proven it with three
| separate mail addresses.
|
| Without MailWasher I had about 15-35 percent spam rate in my
| inbox. Now I get about one every two months - maybe. Since I
| handle about 75 to 100 emails a day, that's pretty darned good.

| | | Nope not familiar with it. I'm using SpamBayes right
| | | now. I've used Mailwasher in the past, was okay, but
| | | wasn't thoroughly impressed, and
| | |
| | | I've used K-9. K-9 did all right once trained about a
| | | 93-94% accuracy
| | |
| | |
| | | rate (something I never achieved with MailWasher.
| | | SpamBayes is at something like 98% accuracy. I'm
| | | pretty happy.
| | |
| |
| | That's odd regarding Mailwasher, I get 100% of all spam
| | blocked, and I noticed within about 1 month that the actual
| | amount I was getting had dropped dramatically.
| |
| | To get round the problem that James's spam solution causes
| | I've just set up a mail rule to block anything from his
| | address-the only problem with that is if he ever sent me a
| | 'proper' email, I wouldn't get it
