As ntl seem not to be as proactive with spam filter's I use the following service www.spam-stop.co.uk its still a free service at the moment and filters all spam been using it for a month and not 1 piece of spam also they have a webmail facility so if you want to view the spam you can

£5 per month, it says.

PS. The tracker bug need not be as obvious as your email address - it may be a number which is your place on the list, or hash coded - even with no explicit identifier, the server logs would give these vermin an idea of how many views they got, so they can claim to reach so many thousands of people for the price of one run.

If you receive a spam advert for anything even semi-legit, don't buy it, and if it appears to be an affilaite for a company that would not condone such practices, get in touch with the company - but 99% of spam these days is pills, porn, or PC protection - occasional affilites for "Evidence eliminator" - though not seen those for a while - perhaps EE read them the riot act, because it made them look even more dodgy than their own "fright tactics" advertising.

I'd put in a vote for Spam Pal too - it pops the spam into a folder called Spam if you create a rule in Outlook / Outlook Express,has reduced the porn and offers of getting Viagra without seeing a doctor to almost none, which is useful as I don't need breast enhancers and I can write prescriptions for drugs quite legally, and without seeing a doctor (as long as the mirror is covered up)

the other thing todo is log on to the NTL website, go to the webmail section and delete the obvious stuff - almost everything that is sent from a sender that I don't recognise is spam, and can be deleted without downloading

Yeah I'm a big fan of Spampal - takes care of all my spam. Coupled with The Bat! it's a mean team :tu:


Absolutely. Identifiers are more useful because the spammer can tell exactly which email you've read from the many they send out. It doesn't have to be an image neither - any script will do, such as one that generates a web page or maybe a blank frame in a frame set (as a spacer).

Re: Porn Via Email
 

"The Bat!" ?

explain please

Re: Porn Via Email
 

Black thing - squeaks a fair bit :D

It's an email client - a bit like Outlook only more feature rich. It has a message dispatcher, though I've not used it, that allows you to manage your emails without downloading them. You can try it for free but the license is about £28. There's some nice images for it if you do download it - ask me and I'll email the file.

The way I have it set up is for Spampal to flag all the spam from all my email accounts. In The Bat! I've created a rule for each account (created one rule and copied it) that moves the spam for that account to a common folder (i.e. a folder that's not associated with any account) and deletes it from the server (so the server doesn't become clogged). I just glance at the one spam folder and delete the contents.

Re: Porn Via Email
 

Ok, I trust you. Can you send it via this website or do you need my personal email address?

Re: Porn Via Email
 

Forgot about attaching things here :D

It needs to go in the main program folder - e.g. c:\program files\the bat!\

Re: Porn Via Email
 

Many thanks, I'll download and take a look later. Goodnight

Re: Porn Via Email
 

No probs :)

Re: Porn Via Email
 

Today is like most days on the spam front I get about 256 to 400 spam emails mostly porn, pills,extensions, and cheap software. I have three domains and my NTL account; I used to use only Outlook to sift the spam that did help, but each day you had another 20 to add to the list. I now have installed Norton Internet Security that has sorted the problem, yes you have to go through the spam folder and look at the subject line, if you find an email thatâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s been wrongly tagged you just hit the †œthis is not spamâ₠¬Ã‚Â� then just hit the empty spam folder. The ones that it does have trouble with are the emails that have been sent using my name. One thing you must not do is hit the remove me button as this just confirms a valid email address which will get you more spam.

80% of the spam mail I get come from the USA and one porn photo arrives each day from twenty different people.
