I have been noticing a lot of traffic concerning e-mail regarding
sending, receiving, etc.
There is a simple solution that avoids browser-related e-mail
"clients" and solves all of the issues.
The solution is radical: do NOT use them in any way, shape, size,
form or color!
Instead use WEBMAIL; it seems that most (maybe all?) ISPs offer
web-mail to / for their customers.
Consider: all e-mail travels via their server, they deal with virus
and other malware issues before you even know there is an e-mail with
issues.
If you can configure their webmail for all ASCII or mostly ASCII (ie:
NO HTML, NO JAVA, in short no Swiss cheese) then you have virtual
protection on par with any "firewall".
Always as before:
Do check subject and from; if you do not recognize it then mark as
spam and go to next incoming e-mail.
Check headers if need as a part of your filtering.
As before, NEVER click on a link that is in an e-mail no matter how
legitimate it looks; FIRST verify the e-mail is legitimate by checking
the headers.
Mark as SPAM e-mails similar to "you have won", "congratulations",
"business proposition", "confidential", etc and ad-nausea.
