"Spam - help please"

Ok I was away from my ntl outlook email account for 3 weeks, I came back to an inbox with 1731 messages - NOT ONE was useful.I have set some rules to delete emails on the server containing certain obscenities in the subject line, but they keep coming with diffrent varioations eg:

"gurlz" instead of "girls" does anyone know any free useful anti spam programs??

Cheers!!

As Icarus mk2 has said the best way to combat spam is to just create a new address, if this is on your domain make sure you do not have a "catch all" email box else you will still get the spam.

At first when my addys got spammed up, I used various spam filters like Mailwasher and SpamAssassin. Then I realised I still spend way too much time on creating rules and word filters, so I just threw away the ntl accounts and registered new addresses.

Just tell everyone you contact your new address, as well as update it with online stores or whatever you've registered with, give it a few days to make sure you're not missing anything, and you'll have a spam free mailbox. Just don't sign up for the free hentai again.
