I always find it easier to manage the SPAM from Message Despatcher and my Inbox.
Anything that gets past the Message Despatcher gets sifted from my Inbox straight away.
It is very easy to see the SPAM when you have the majority of your email filtered to
specific mailboxes. Just a matter of 'mailbox discipline' in ridding
yourself of it when it arrives I suppose, even though it is annoying.
An extra tip: Set up a mailbox in TB! called something like 'Dullard'.
Everywhere you visit that you don't want email from use this email
address when prompted dullard@.... Filter it out before it hits your hard disk!
It doesn't exactly reduce the SPAM as such but it enables you to
manage it quickly.
By the way, I have also reduced my SPAM by 50% nowadays. Also, ISPs
should be doing a bit more to allow filtering at their end. Would send
out a message to SPAM churners as well.
