Hello Eugene, When the Junk emails appears in your Inbox, select them, then click Junk in the Toolbar, or choose Message Mark As Junk Mail. Then the spam messages will at least go into your Junk Folder. Cheers, Ronni On 12/08/2008, at 1:08 PM, Eugene wrote: Hi Paul, yep I'm getting about 15 - 20 per day.

Re: Spam bombardment
I think it's *your* email address, not Westnet per se. I don't actually use my old IT email address but it's still running so I can pick up the odd stragglers who haven't got my Westnet email address yet. The old IT address started getting massive amounts of spam before I changed to Westnet is now getting 60 or more spam emails a day (including the CNN one). My Westnet email address so far gets NO spam at all, I haven't paid for their spam filtering service.

However it does seem that Westnet clients are more vulnerable to these spammers because the ISP charges $30 a year extra to include spam filtering. I've been with Westnet for a few years, but maybe it's time to start shopping around for better service. Any suggestions?

Re: g5 iMac Sporadically closing down?
Hi all, Hoping someone out there might point me somewhere useful :-) I have a 3 yr old 1.8 mhz g5 iMac (Just out of Applecare naturally.) Over the last few weeks, the machine has been working fine except that once every couple of days it makes a small pop and closes down For about a minute, pressing the power button just makes it come on then off again. Shortly thereafter, she powers up but (what sounds like) the fan makes a lot of noise for about 30 seconds CPU temperature is 75% - that sounds OK, yes? Anyway, today the machine did it twice in the space of 15 minutes.starting to get a little nervous here... ;-) Strangely though, I thought it might have something to do with the power supply, so was wiggling that while it was dead and the machine turned itself on.. I know...confusing eh? Can anyone offer any advice beyond 'back up everything and brace your wallet'? cheers Stewart -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The G5 iMacs have had problems with both failed power supplies and logic boards, in many cases caused by poorly manufactured capacitors that were used by the various assembly factories at that time (ie many brands affected, not just Apple products). The rate of deterioration of the capacitors seems heat related, so if your imac had not been used much, or always in a cool environment, it may have taken longer for the problem to reveal itself. Of course excessive heat itself will cause a damage prevention shutdown. Is the interior of the computer choked with dust fibres, so that no effective air cooling is taking place?
