dunno if anyone else has noticed but my SPAM levels seem to have dropped to almost zero... in 3 days i've only had three messages in my hotmail account, and none between last night and this morning. Has all this new legislation in the states actually done something even though it hasn't come into effect yet or what???

or microsoft have upgraded their spam filter. We still ahve a major problem here at work with spam.

I am working on it all day every day atm to reduce spam by 90%.

I've suddenly got a whole lot less aswell. Was getting annoying having to sort through everything.

it's just freaky logging into msn and only 1 new email then the next day logging in and it's the same!

ive only got 14 since i emptied my junkmail folder last week. mad props.

I never had a spam problem.... ahhh bad luck capto -- do a complete filter but where the sender is in the recipents address book. and everything else dirverted to another mail folder, i know it has its flaws like new business custermers not being able to send emails, but it can be solved. but it will removoe spam

:(
i hope it all goes away

fade i work for a school. no chance when you are working with 10's of thousands of clients.I am configuring Symantec exchange filter atm. Very slow and painful process.

there was also the case of a major spammer getting busted recently. i cant find the link :(

ouch capto.

our school has no spam
we gotta an awesome anti-spam permissions policy.

if i knew our tech guys email i'd give it too you.

thanks fade, it is a difficult job. i think i might try a different program soon.

When i first logged on there was only two spams since last night, but during my short stint on QGL this morning i've had six new spams arrive.

Capt0 : I've had considerable success with anti-spam tools / techniques (server side). gimme your email address or ICQ/MSN handles if you want somebody to bounce ideas off.

Thanks stinky, my msn is capt0@hotmail.com, icq = 13822740, email = rmn@nic.nudgee.com

Cheers

i hae had less but i would still get at least 5 a day :(

although annoying i just live with it

yeah my email spam has also significantly decreased


i used to have at least 100 or so coming in a day now its down to like 1 or 2

Look at the news on slashdot from a few days ago. Apparently one of the biggest spammers is getting the s*** sued out of them by the us govt and microsoft

I still get a few spam mails but then again, I never did get that much anyway. Except for the one time where I got like 10000000000 emails in one day, that was whack.

hope this contributes to get your spam level back up :)

I don't give out my emails very often, so my spam is 0 (maybe 3 or 4 a week for hotmail).

Only real spam i get is from some asshat with Bugbear on their PC with me in their address book.

A Spamless hotmail account!! Who thought this day would ever come ppl!?

REJOICE!

opensource...

SpamPal

www.spampal.com i think

or, google it

you need to run it locally on the machines that recieve the e-mails though, which could be a problem, but its basically just an inline program with outlook express, or whatever mail prog you use, it marks your e-mails and then you set a filter to delete/remove the marked e-mails
