[Hidden-tech] Junk Email

[andrew bellak]

On the suggestion of another HT member, I used a spam 'fix' with Gmail.

I send normally through my e-mail client (Entourage or Outlook) BUT

I receive via Gmail.

All my e-mail addresses are forwarded to my Gmail account

My e-mail client (right term?) or interface (Entourage, Outlook, etc.) then
ONLY receives mail from my Gmail account.

Very little spam gets through, 1 / day maybe.

If you want, you can check the Gmail spam folder to see if caught some
non-spam.

Gmail is my scrubber
