Hi,
I am new to all this so please be very patient with me.
In the past three weeks I have been 'flooded’out by approx 600 emails{which I know to be scams}.I am sick to death of spending an hour a day clearing my inbox etc. >:(
They are all sent to undisclosed receiptients.
Other than blocking and bouncing them does anyone know how I can stop these pain in the bums?

Welcome crookchook

Someone you know has their system infested with a spambot and is using their address book to send emails or you could have subscribed to something that has had their email list stollen by a spammer.

Never bounce emails as the return address is fake and could get your email privilages suspended by your ISP for spamming.

SPAMfighter Pro costs money and will add spam advert message to all outgoing emails ::slight_smile:

[b]SPAMfighter Standard [/b] This is a free product and can only be used in homes and schools. In SPAMfighter Standard, a short text ad is displayed in your e-mail client, and an "I'm protected by SPAMfighter" message is attached as a footer to your outgoing e-mails. Also, you don't have the language filter and other useful features are missing. If you want to upgrade to SPAMfighter Pro, please click here.

There are many free anti-spam tools, Spamihiliator is one I believe, I haven’t a clue how they spell it, probably the worst product name I’ve heard of but many use it. http://www.catalysoft.com/articles/spamihiliator.html http://www.spamihilator.com/download.

Personally I use MailWasher Pro a paid option but I bout it many years ago anf have had free upgrades ever since, best money I have spent for time saving. There is a free version I believe but that only has support for one email account, where the pro version supports multiple accounts. No adverts in your sent mail either.

Use this as well as Davidr for my Pop3 mail account and won't have any other :) I use the pro version also :)
