If you want some good and cheap spam blocking software try vamsoft. www.vamsoft.com
It cut my spam down from about 50 day to none. You need to fine tune a bit using sender whitelists and ips but is very good. Easy to setup and works great with exchange. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Stanton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 5:01 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: CFAUSSIE to be blamed for Spam? I think if you look closely - all those email addresses are from very early in the piece (Jan/Feb) - when Geoff first started using mail archive. I think emails are blocked now. Yes - its a shame, but you can't consider your email address as being a secret, it'll get out there eventually. I am getting much more spam now than 12 or even 6 months ago (23 message so far today), but my email address has been on the web for a few years. So wouldn't put it down to just the mail-archive thing - the general spam volume is increasing rapidly. Our ISP recently set up SpamAssassin - spam is now wrapped as an attachment and flagged in the mail headers - I've got an outlook rule that shifts it all to the "junk" folder automatically. If I wanted I could configure SA to just delete it on arrival at the server, but I'm not quite that committed yet. I would say SA catches about 98% of the spam that heads my way and only trips up real mail very, very occasionally (less and less all the time thanks to the Bayesian filtering it does). Interestingly the biggest problem with false positives is with html email generated by CF5, because CF5 ignored some key points in the mail RFCs. Anyway - get your ISP to install SpamAssassin and stop worrying about it.
