What anti Spam?

[catso]

Well I've had a good run of getting little or no spam but in the last year it started and is getting worse. I don't want to visit an on-line casino and I don't need viagra or a bigger penis so what can I do?

What's everyones favourite/best anti Spam software?

We do offer a hardware anti-spam solution, however it is £49 per month per domain (up to 1million emails)

It's a stunning solution, but alas aimed at the more commercial market..

If you're after a free-ware solution, I'd say just switch to a gmail account!

£49 per month is a 'little' more than I want to pay but thanks for the reply.

Why would you want to stop?

It's great fun baiting them!

Does your ISP not have a SPAM filter on it? Usually accessible online and configurable, i.e. Off, Low, Med, High, Aggresive.. It's probably set to Off - otherwise people complain about not receiving emails that weren't SPAM.. You can get it to tag them with ****SPAM**** or some such similar and then use a rule to forward to a Junk/SPAM directory.. Then have a quick peruse for anything that seems to be genuine and delete the rest..

I have something like that. Some spam gets tagged spam, some doesn't. Some mail that isn't spam gets tagged spam, even from people in my address book but recently I'm getting more spam that isn't tagged as spam. (sounds like a Monty Python routine ) I seem to be forever blocking senders to then receive the same crap from the same sender, sometimes even under the same 'blocked' address.

What I'd really like is to inflict a deadly pox on the spammers so that they're not wasting my time and filling my inbox with crap - I mean does anyone actually buy their viagra or 'megadik' pills?, are they even selling them? Bastids...
