Well I may just have found the answer to spam emails. Recently it has been getting much worse and the spams were coming in thick and fast. I was filtering / deleting and even (don't tell me) in desperation, using the "opt out" features on some of the more respectable looking ones. Nothing worked. I had the idea that maybe I could find a way of "Bouncing" the spam back (when I could properly find the source that is) with a forged header showing a "bounced / shutdown" account. As far as this went it seemed a good idea. But it gets very complicated making that "bounce header" look good enough to fool even me.....
Anyway, while researching the project, I came across a program that does it all, better than I even dreamed of. Deletes and bounces and even looks up "suspect" emails on the DNS Blacklist servers in real time for you. Easy to use for sure - just a click and off it goes. Lots of options to declare "friendly" emails that it marks as otherwise dodgy. In all a little gem. Nothing big or fancy - just very clever. And best of all it is freeware with a contribution option.
Give it a look. It has been a real saviour in this household for sure. It is a certainly worth a contribution from this 'puter user. What amazes me is that this idea has not already been included in Eudora etc.... But then maybe it will be soon....
