Hi everyone. I am curious to know if my actions in regard to Westnet's
spam filter is the same as everyone else. When I first employed the
filter I religiously read the 'email' of spams they sent me but as my
recall rate was virtually nil I now delete the email which shows the
spam mail I have received without reading it. :-( Is this the a
common practice?
Hi Mac
I am no longer with Westnet but I remember using the spam filter service.
It is a Sophos product I believe.
I used it pretty much as you do, I would quickly scan down the list to
look for any familiar names, you know, ones that don't look like Hartog
D. Pennythrift etc.
I usually only found the odd one from WAMUG really.
The longer I did this the less mistakes it made, quite good I found, but
certainly not one in a million. More like one in five hundred.
This did not take too long.
Nowadays I'm just using gmail and to my knowledge it's filter hasn't
made a mistake yet.
