This is kind of a rant but I'd like to get some ideas too.
I have a new concern about the methods I have been using to control the evil spam machine that I am sure plagues everyone with a computer. I daily get 3-4 spams concerning drugs that are worded dimply to bypass spam filters. I began to wonder why they are worded that way.......
I use bellsouth as my internet service and have employed their "spam" service in an effort to curb the crap. Now I am concerned with how the filters work......I am sure the filters work according to subject wording or something like that.... and now I am concerned that these d### spams are worded just so if sent to your spam filter, the filter will begin to filter "valid" emails that may contain a simliar phrase......Is that correct?
This stuff is getting annoying. I have set up another email address through another site just to try to avert some of the garbage. Does anyone know any other way to block this junk? I already block all cookies except a few to fav forums, such as this one, and I've had a router for some time now but this crap still gets through way too much for my liking. Any help appreciated.
