Hello, imho the Spam problem could be controlled much better, if the guys, who are in charge of mailservers would configure these boxes better. Bad mails (unauthorized senders, bad headers, infected mails etc) should be bounced already by the mail server, before accepting it. Most mailservers have good tools to do so and RBLs are also very powerful. Example, I'm running a couple of domains on a server i manage and receive 1 - 2 spams from there per day. I have one mail address running on another server and it receives some 100 spams/day.
To catch that stuff on the mail client can be only the last step. For me SpamSieve works excellent, I'd say 99.9% hits are correct. all the best Matthias Am/On Mon, 29 Jan 2007 12:28:05 -0500 schrieb/wrote Mark Gerber: >Thanks for all the responses. > >For the several weeks this has been happening I've been assuming this >worm was a Windows problem and that my address was being spoofed.
