yfs Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 My email accounts have not been receiving the usual amount of spam lately. Instead of 10 or more pieces of junk per day, I'm only getting 2 or 3 now. Anyone else experiencing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi, Not really Roughly 90% of all my email is now spam (150-200 emails/day). Will be killing the @nanaplaza.com forwarders soon and only use my @thai360.com accounts. This will hopefully reduce my spam drastically though. Sanuk!

Faustian Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I noticed a drop a couple of months back, after they busted some guy, but now it's back to the usual levels of insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 The free emails accounts with Yahoo and Hotmail will automatically screen most spam to a level where it's manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi, I am using Popfile, which does the same for my POP3 account. It's running at 99+% accuracy now. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen4dummies Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I use gmail to "Get mail from other accounts: (Download mail using POP3)" and then only get mail from gmail. I very seldom get any spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Gmail's spam filter is excellent. Moving to Google Apps (Gmail on your domain) reduced spam from ca. 700-1200 spam mails a week to around 2 spam mails a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi, My 'problem' is that I do not trust server-side spam filters. I want to have final say in what is and is not spam, which is why I am using Popfile. It downloads all email to my PC and filters there. That way I can always check whether or not something was classified wrong. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Using Gmail does not mean that I can't see the spam. Spam is stored online in a spam folder for 30 days. I check the spam folder every few days for to look for (very rare) false positives. Before we had PC based spamfilters, which caused severe delays sometimes, especially when I was away from the office and when I opened Outlook after returning it had to download around 1000-1500 emails, most of them spam.
