thebees Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am demented with Spam, I have all kinds going on with my outlook and still the pesky little spammers find a way through. One thing I can never quite figure is what they hope to expect? Am I suddenly going to grow myself a willy just so I can use viagra? Why would I want anyone coming like a porn star in my house? I saw this one clip one time about this man who, well I think it was 'a fake' but I can tell you right now, I wouldn't want to be cleaning up after him!

Googlemail is very effective at dealing with spam, and you can set it to collect your mail off many other services and clean it up and you can continue to use your existing email address. Spams got an extremely low success rate, recent studies have shown it to be around 1 in 12,500,000 spam emails gets a sale. But it's virtually free, so must be worth it.

Looks like people are learning not to respond to spam Prevention has gone up a great deal too. We're using messagelabs at work, and you really don't see any spam at all.

If you prefer you can then set outlook express to grab it from google, and you've still got your mail in outlook and all cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
