Spam
In article "Charlie" writes: G-Lock make email software. They have the best spam filterer I have come accross. I was getting seventy to eighty spams per day I havnt had a viagra spam for days Demon have just started using Brightmail filtering. We were rejecting nearly 2000 spams a day last week, using an SMTP transfer agent - that meant that *most* of our connect time was spent telling the server what messages we didn't want, despite the fact that we were doing it in the most efficient way possible (no downloading headers). The new service zaps 95% of them unseen. Yay!!! connect time cut in half. The SMTP filtering means that only one of those thousands of spams has ever made it through in the last few months. In the UK, Claranet have been doing spam filtering for much longer than Demon and are probably even better at it. ======== Email to "j-c" at this site; email to "bogus" will bounce ======== Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/purrhome.html food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files and CD-ROMs of Scottish music. |

I was getting seventy to eighty spams per day I havnt had a viagra spam for days They also have a brilliant support forum. If you dont know how to do it, someone will tell you. There is a link to them on the links page of my website www.streetlevel.co.uk My isp has taken to filtering the mail. They send us a "Quarantined Mail Report" every week or so, so that we can look through it and "release" any mail that got caught and shouldn't have. When you release or delete a message from the list it also gives the option to whitelist or blacklist the sender. They are also stripping viri as the mail passes through. Even though I use pegasus and so was doing most of this anyway, it makes email much easier and less time consuming. The isp is quarantining about 500 messages a week as suspected spam, I have released and whitelisted maybe half a dozen. The only problem is if someone sends in html format or mime it tends to get quarantined. A few people who can't live without badly programed bells and whistles have been a bit miffed that it took me a week to write back because I had to dig them out of quarantine.
