WTF !!! 1250 spam emails this morning !!!

[tex]

you might be able to set up a forwarding on your addy jeff to an account at hotmail or web based mail - by doing so their filters should be able to filter it out, so when someone emails you it forwards to your web based addy.. if you have one which is easy to get hold of if you havnt

Jeff the same thing happened to me a few months ago at my old buisness address I just set up a rule to divert the emails to a seperate folder and luckily it stopped after a few days.

Sounds as if my contribution was about as much use as a chocolate teapot! Sorry about that, but hope one way or another the problem is sorted out soon.

Agree about the firwall thing, we have one at work, but still get between 10- 50 spam e-mails per day!

Its a right mare when you come in after the weekend!

Exactly the same thing happened daily to me Jeff, until I switched to an ISP where I could define which names before the "@" symbol were allowed.

Much less spam now.

The change was arranged by my SS double-driver from last year (who provides this service - think it's in my sig), do you want his no.?

The company I work for does a product that is specifically designed to quarantine all suspect e-mail so that you can review it and decided to keep or delete it before it gets anywhere you e-mail inbox.

I usually have to check twice a day and get between 30 and 50 spam mails a day but they all get deleted.

Sounds like your ISP could do with it to me...

My assistant manager emailed it to me Along with a tyre safety calender which is not suitable to be put up on here. She seemed so nice when I interviewed her

Jeff,

Ditch Outlook express and move your account over to a "corporate gmail" from google.  It will work with your domain name, reduce spam, and allow access from anywhere.  Highly recommended, and free.
