Re: anti-SPAM solutions
Hello Chrille, This is what you said on Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:21:21 +0200 your time: I use Antispamsniper Pro and I'm extremely satisfied with it. I believe they have a free edition as well. Thanks, I'll take a look at the free version :-) JOOC, does it not 'stick in your craw' that by buying a solution *you* have ended up picking up the tab for dealing with SPAM? It rather seems to me that we have a situation where the SPAMer is on the make, the solution provider is on the make, and everyone else forms the big pocket that both parties want to dip into. This may seem a bit cynical, but there ya go ;-) -- Simon (Privateofcourse) #21123.

Re: anti-SPAM solutions
Hello Paul, This is what you said on Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:47:13 +1000 your time: I get nearly all spam, do not use an external filter yet. My ISP offers free spam filtering, so I use this. It stops the download of 60% to 70%. I use internal mail filters along these lines: [...snip...] Thanks for the detailed info. Interesting method. I personally use the old way of creating company / contact specific email aliases: everyone has their own contact email address IOW. Of course this means creating forwarders for every new contact, but then you can identify immediately where SPAM has come from...and inform whoever it is that has leaked the email address that they've got a problem. I also then delete the forwarder for them and give them a new, 'clean' alias/contact email address. For this purpose I use a separate domain name to my personal (friends and family only IOW) one, and of course there is a default address that I give out if I can't set up a new forwarder for someone/a contact there and then. When I'm next at my PC I'll set up a new forwarder for whoever it is and send them an email asking them to update their contact details. I also create a monthly temp alias with a 8 digit code. Eg. temp.yu854...@domain.co.uk and use this for all other contact forms and such like. Every month I simply delete the alias and create a new one, excluding the temp address, this particular setup is near as dammit 100% SPAM free. My personal email does get occasional SPAM, and I keep having to update the filters in cPanel. But I've just been reading about the free Comodo AntiSpam software, which is a free challenge and response system. This 'looks' promising, and may be the solution I've been looking for my personal communications. -- Simon (Privateofcourse) # 9200.

If I put undisclosed recipients:; (or any other text ending ;:) in the TO: field I find that TB! does not send the To: header. If I put an addressee in the To: field as well as undisclosed recipients:; the To: header is sent containing the recipient and not the undisclosed recipients:; string.
