??? Good spam filter words...

June 30, 2003 4:20 PM from

Mine don't work. I don't even HAVE the equipment they think I want to enlarge. Win, Free, Cam... these don't keep anything out. I already have a college degree, I don't need to buy one for $50 (after four years, is that all it ended up being worth?).

Am I putting in the wrong words?

Spam filters never work

I use Mailwasher to weed out the stuff I don't want.

what fuzzy said.
mailwasher Pro for me. Takes work on your part. Run mailwasher first bounce back the junk then run your mail client for the real stuff.

Ah... Thanks. I will try it again. When it first came out there were many troubles with it. This spam generation uses a jumble of letters in the subject line.

HEH... call me naive but I always thought size was a motivational thing (at least for the e-mails I got).

Is Mailwasher compatible with Incredimail?? Couldn't find any info on the web site. I'm also looking for a good garbage filter/removal program.

Mailwasher works indepently. So you can leave it running in the try. have a look when it says u have mail. Bounce, delete black list etc. Then run what ever mail client you like.

I have my outlook express filters set to move *everything* into the deleted folder file and then move out stuff from stardock, family, friends, etc. Then I just empty the deleted files folder because all that's in there is spam. Works 99.9%. I use Mailwasher too, specially after I haven't checked my email in awhile.

I received an email today, asking if I would like to feel 100 years younger................ I wouldn't mind feeling younger, but 100 years younger, might feel a bit akward. My parents weren't even born yet...

Heh... apparently, the people who dream up the wording for this spam arent the brightest people on earth.

Koasati - forward that hundred year spam to Wom and me , please!

BTW K: if you felt like you were 130, then you could legitimately want to feel 100 years younger.

funny, I was thinking of enlarging something, but all those emails claiming how to do it never work. Maybe its just me...

Anyway, I never heard of Mailwasher until now. sounds cool. I'll give it a try myself.

Thanks!

When I booted up this morning, sysmetrix said there were 37 emails. I started mailwasher and when it was done bouncing and deleting, there was nothing left

Koasati... maybe you have a way to fight back there. Sue them for terroristic threatening over the internet. After all, they want to send you to extinction!

Thanks everyone, I am using mailwasher again. I am also going to create a new alias in my account.
