Use thunderbird and its nice spam filter... or... change your email address.

bm23 · 10-11-2008, 05:59 PM

can't you block the addresses?

what do you use for email?

tremmor · 10-11-2008, 06:14 PM

Thunderbird has a terrific spam filter. T-bird works with most popular POP3 email accounts (hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc...) with the Webmail add-on. It also, works with any other e-mail account as long as you know the correct server info.

That's the most immature response I have seen on this forum... And I have seen a lot in the past year...

Back on topic, it's probably a virus on someone's computer sending you thos spams. Block the domain name of the email, that should do it.

Is the domain mane the same as the sender's name?

Also, my Outlook is trying to send msgs all the time I didn't create.

I recently dumped McAfee Security Suite and now I'm just running with Avira, S&D and Malwarebytes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I like Thunderbird, it's a nice one, but I don't like the fact that it doesn't put the SPAM messages into a separate folder, they are all in the same place.
