Thanks Matthias. I thought the Blocklist in Spamsieve was a way of examining the mail and rejecting it *before* it was fully downloaded. I appreciate I would need access to the mailserver to do the job properly.
Much of this *should* be accomplished by my ISP who subscribe to the Cloudmark anti-spam service. Since most of the spam is the usual porn/ meds stuff which Spamsieve identifies with no problem, I can only assume Cloudmark is not very good. cheers, Chris On 6/7/07 Matthias Schmidt wrote: >Am/On Fri, 6 Jul 2007 08:15:07 +0100 schrieb/wrote Chris: > >>A recent increase in the volume of spam I am receiving has made me a >>convert to Spamsieve, an excellent product with which I am well satisfied. >> >>Although Spamsieve correctly bins the spam even after minimal training, >>is it possible to 'add sender to blocklist' (or similar) so it doesn't >>get downloaded in the first place?
