Re: A big spam weekend

[Paul William]

If you run a mail server I recommend using spamhaus 
(http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/howtouse.html). It does not pick up all 
spam but it does pick up the majority and I have not yet had a false 
positive. I also use thunderbirds junk filter.

Cheers

Hi,
A new record. 550+ spam waiting for me this morning at work. Most as a 
result of a spoofed from address. They are still coming at about 30 an 
hour. Maybe one of you got a spam-spouting virus that found my address 
in you address book. I don't use this address for many things other than 
clug.

Fortunately, Thunderbird's junk mail controls learn over time what is 
junk and what is not. Thus the impact is relatively minor - almost all 
spam gets stuffed in the Junk folder for me to delete at my leisure.

Cheers,
Carl.
