Hi Ken,
I use Spamfighter, which I find very good, it is free and has stopped around 20
or so a day, the odd one or two creep through but in general I find it really
good.
You should be able to find it by searching for it in Google, or there may be a
link at the bottom of this email.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Michael.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Unwanted e-mail
All
I hope someone can help, I am getting increasingly fed up with the amount of
unwanted e-mail hitting my in box, and other filtered folders. Much of it is
addressed to my e-mail account (that bit after the @) but not to my name (the
bit before).
I want to set Outlook Express to just receive e-mail addressed to my name.
Is there a way to do this?
I have tried looking in the mail rules, which currently directs identified
Spam to a dedicated folder. But since the definitions for Spam are not clear,
I find some so called Spam is legitimate, and some legitimate mail is actually
Spam.
The mail rules interaction does not seem to be Jaws friendly, and I am unable
to create a new rule. Furthermore, I am not sure I can do one to eliminate all
names except my own.
I also considered closing my account, and creating a new one. This would
work for a while, but I assume that the more I use an account in the public
domain, the more likely it is to get picked up by illegitimate operators. So,
eventually I would be back in the same position once more.
Can anyone give guidance on the best way forward from here?
Thanks,
Ken
