Daily spam count
-
All of a sudden, the amount of spam emails I receive per day has jumped from 50/75 to about 2000. Almost all the emails are spurious bounces received from
conacyt.mxandcostainteligente.es. Which got me thinking... For those of you who don't use an email service like Yahoo, GMail, Hotmail or AOL, how much spam do you receive on a typical day? My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib@ravib.comAbout 150 per day through a regular ISP. About 20 per day into the Yahoo 'Bulk Mail' folder.

Yahoo mail with "SpamGuard is ON" + "Immediately delete these messages upon receipt" delivers 3-5 spams per week (usually from Nigerian people who want to give me much money :suss: ).

I have been using spamihilator, and I am pretty happy with it. The good thing about it is its free and extendable with plug-ins. I hope its creator doesn't turn it into a commercial program. What other free spam catchers are out there?

Strange enough, I only get one or two a day. The most I have ever seen is 5 in a day. I get more spam at work from the corperation that I work for than anywhere else. :confused: -------------------------------

My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib@ravib.comI just returned from an overnight trip to Vancouver to bury my Dad, opened OE, and it found 173 new emails which had managed to evade my spam filter. Of those, 17 were legitimate. I'm scared to look at how many the filter caught. Other than using this address for a logon to sites like CodeProject, this address has never been published on the Internet, except that in its early incarnation the TechRepublic.com site used and displayed email addresses as user names. I can only assume that webcrawlers have harvested addresses from that site, and those like it.

Oh, that is sad :-( Don't even get one SPAM mail per day? Just publish your email address on a homepage and you can be sure, you get some mail :laugh: For my mail address that is public on one homepage, I get about 50+ SPAM messages per day :-( Regards Mathias

I was going to use spamihilator, but then I realized (correct me if I am wrong) that the mail has to be downlaoded from the server for it to work. Since I use an ISP that I can send POP3 commands to, I looked for a program that would actually retrieve message headers using the LIST command and then use the DEL command to get rid of them at the server. I looked at my spam, and almost all of it can be removed based upon the sender, subject, or content of message header only - no need to download the entire message content. So, I came across Magic Mail Monitor - MMM - which is available on SourceForge. Unfortunately, last time I checked, about 2 months ago, it has a critical parsing error and a couple internal data tracking errors that render it slightly unstable :( Despite the issues, MMM has a pretty large following. I can take 15 minutes for the spam to download. I ran MMM on my acount with a similar number of spam messages, and it wiped out the spam in about 40 seconds.
