Hi Stacy, Your web hosting company should be able to adjust their email server's filters and use blacklists to avoid most of the spam. Let them know of your issues as based on your feedback most hosting companies will make adjustments to their protection systems. For an example of how complex and expensive the spam war is these days: my web server uses: Spam Assassin, 3 real-time black hole lists (zen.spamhause.org, bl.cmsa.biz and bl.spamcop.net), Sender Policy Framework, Server Defined Rules and Client Defined rules and finally a heuristic content based engine to block most of these spammers and tag other message traffic as spam for false positive checks. This sounds like a bit of overkill, but since I am hosting over 60 domains and 300+ email accounts it really pays off.

Anyway, I'm suddenly getting deluged with junk email. I must have accidentally opened something I shouldn't have. Does anyone have a (preferably free) way to get rid of these? I used Microsoft Outlook and it does have a junk mail folder but it only captures some of them. Thank you!!! Stacey Langknecht Hotsapp Woodworks 413-367-9408 stacey at masscraft.com
