Back months ago when I was still using my tsoft DSL +SA and email on my own box, SA would trap quite a bit of spam - hundreds, usually, gotten through the course of an average week, would be trapped by the SA filters I was using. But much of that spam was attacks on my old address [EMAIL PROTECTED], which no longer exists, and was little, if ever, used. Still, I would get a large amount of spam simply because I maintained the same email address for nearly seven years. I switched to gmail because of a move, and an ISP change in May of this year. At first I figured "oh no, the spammers have found my gmail account!". Not to worry, since looking at the headers show them coming from d-u. And much of the spam that used to be sent through d-u didn't get filtered by SA on my local machine. I tagged a few messages in gmail and reported them as spam (via the "report spam" button), but all that seems to do is to move the message into a spam folder that I have to go clean out. Anyone know different - does gmail even use that input to train filters? The worst spam surge I remember, though, was sometime last year when there was a flood of spam with "XXX wrote" in the subject line, where every conceivable first name in the what you would name your baby book was sent out as a separate message. > with amavis scores of over 30 but they are called "OK".

I need to tweak my SA so it always includes I've seen some like that - ones that I take one look at, and say "This has to be a virus" without needing to investigate further. > A -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
