-=PCTechTalk=- Re: what is this and why am I receiving it?

Hi Dave,
I have Mailwasher running constantly on a separate monitor.
I can see who the email are from, most already flagged for deletion by my
filters I have set up in MW.

When I start first thing in the morning, 90% of the messages are already
flagged for deletion.
One click of a button and they are deleted from the server.

It also allows me to see if they have an attachment, or a subject which is a
known virus indicator.

I wish my ISP would allow bouncing but it still works faster than my ISP's
web mail option.

When I say the bouncing doesn't work, I'm not referring to the false
email addresses, what I am referring to is the fact that bounce feature
didn't work with three major ISPs. That represents a real problem.

And I never said that it didn't stop the "crap" from hitting your Inbox.
What I said was that the percentage was too low for my tastes, when
other options gave me much better results with little effort.

The idea behind sorting out SPAM is to save time, given that MailWasher
requires you to log into your server before you actually download email
and have it sort, and then delete and bounce (if it works with your ISPs
servers mind you), how does that save time?

And from what you said below you like to do it all hands on which
represents even more time spent within MailWasher before you even
actually get your email.
