I'm about to ditch what was once my main email account ( together with the ISP )
as I'm receiving 150+ spams a day.

I've used Mailwasher - which is pretty good - www.mailwasher.net or org or
something - and has good 'rules' methods together with using Spamcop's databases
of flagged dubious sources. Suggest you give it a try.

Interestingly - I get *NO* spam to certain other accounts at all.

Some ISPs simply don't bother filtering and pass the buck to you. Also, some are
so big as to attract random spamming to , where 'everyone' =
any plausible name number combination. Go figure. Were you thinking of getting a
better deal anyway ?


Good luck, Graham

p.s. *never* advertise your email on a newsgroup or website - *OR* allow it to
be posted on an external site - the spammers have robots to trawl for these.

If in doubt use a throwaway account.

Anyone have problem with a new law with a mandatory 10yr prison sentence for
anyone found sending over say 10,000 emails a day ? That would fix it.

Ditch Outlook Express and use Mozilla Thunderbird instead. It has a good
junk mail classification filter.

The next step is to replace IE with Firefox:

Et voila - spam filtering and no more popups.
