Hello,

Personnally i used like you an old email adress since years and i receive (less than you)
maybe 10 or 20 spam a day, but they are all automatically moved in a separate box.
And clean later automatically.
My browser doesn't give all my private information to every body.
The spam mail is often due to the information YOU GIVE by your browser.
Its clear that http headers like :


Via
X-Forwarded-For
From
Referer
Server
User-Agent
WWW-Authenticate
Link

must not be given.
With some simple works its possible to avoid Spam.
But i never used m$ft software at home ............
And i don't how to do that with m$ft software, probably buy something again.

All:
Like probably all of you, I too am plagued by TONS of SPAM. It pisses me
off. I have had the same email address for almost 10 years now, and buy
lots on line, and subscribe to many discussion list, message boards, etc.
So, I get lots of SPAM. I have noticed a HUGE increase in SPAM over the
past 6 months. I generally get between 100-125 SPAM messages a day! I used
to check my mail periodically from my cell phone, but have stopped that
process because of all the SPAM. Recently, our network guru was researching
a solution and came across a plug in product for Outlook (not sure it works
for Express). I have included a link below. (I guess my email message is
starting to sound like SPAM). I used to maintain a junk sender list and a
junk sender domain list in Outlook, but it was a full time job to maintain,
and only caught about 60% of the SPAM. I have installed the product below
from Cloudmark and it catches about 95% of the SPAM. It also give you the
option, if you DO receive SPAM, to add the sender to the SPAM subscription
server, so if you block SPAM it is blocked for anyone who uses the product.
The software is free and I read thru the privacy statement and did not see
anything I objected to.


We are now looking at their server side product for Exchange, to hopefully
eliminate the SPAM from the Inbox. Then I can check my mail on my cell
phone again!

I hope this email does not offend anyone, and I apologize for the off topic
post, but together we can control this crap. If you like the product, pass
the link along to other you know. The more people that use the service,
collectively the more SPAM will be stopped.


Disclaimer:  I have no connection or affiliation with this product or
company.  I am a happy customer of a free product.

Regards,
cjg

Yeah, well, because of you my email-box filled up and I missed who
knows how many offers to increase my size, enhance my vigor, get out
of debt, assist a
needy Nigerian, and buy various drugs over the counter.

Nyaah, nyaah, nyaah nyaah nyaah! I still got all those offers. Again.
