Nothing works
by tomcat on May 30, 2007 07:20 PM   Permalink

Hell, nothing works. I am very careful about giving away my email id on websites, but still, on a nice evening, a colleague posted my email id on some free wallpaper site. And well, just cant do anything then.

Now, on Outlook, its just too easy to hit delete. Its the fastest way I have found till now. Clean out the "deleted Items" folder once a week or so.

Yahoo and Gmail have good spam filters and hence we are mostly spared there. The same method works here - Just check the spam and hit delete.

The problem with anti-spam software is that it might filter out the genuine emails too. I have lost some mails to Bulk mail on yahoo and gmail.

Thanks, Ambuj Saxena. But even after all such efforts, spam still arrives unwelcomed :-( Though sure your methods reduce the amount of spam drastically :-)
