MAN!! I have had over 80 spam messages in the past 24 hours! Appearantly I need Viagra and computer software real bad and I just don't know it! I am thinking about selecting one of these fine people and just forwarding everything I get that is spam to them for a week or two. I don't really want to adjust the spam filters because I wouldn't know how to do it properly and I do note that occassionaly legitimate business related stuff (read orders) do sometimes come in labelled as spam. Any suggestions would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance Buried in Spam Shane |

Stop giving out your email address. Don't buy or register for anything with your real address. Cook up an alternate for that. That has saved me a ton of aggrevation. |

Thanks guys.....I will work with my outlook and see what I can do. Problem is my e-mail address is important for the business I am in, handing it out is how people get a hold of me. Anyway this problem is not crippling, just bl**dy annoying! Shane |

The very best thing is to have a private e-mail account where you only let friends know it. I have five acocunts, one for signing on forums, one for transactions, one for pals...etc etc. I found that clearing the spam inbox and the deleted files box seems to slow things down a bit with regards to spam being recieved. I used to get 120 a week. |

With my permanent Earthlink email address, I get probably a couple hundred spam messages a day, and even the spam filters would miss twenty or thirty. It got so annoying that I set my settings such that if an email address wasn't in my approved list, it would be returned to the sender with a note telling them they had to send another email to me requesting to be put on the approved list. About that same time, I pretty much stopped using that email address altogether. I use Gmail now, which is web-based email run by google, and even though I have started getting a lot of spam sent to my google address now, I probably have only one message a week that gets by google's spam filters and lands in my inbox. Dunno how those folks do it, but they're good! So, I can recommend gmail (visit gmail.com), besides it's free and they give you a lot of space for saved messages. Best, Michael |
