Thanks Michael,
   I've been running Mailwasher for maybe the last 3+ years. There
have been times when I wouldn't have been able to use some of my
accounts without it. However I don't like its ability to falsely put
real e-mail addresses into the blacklist without warning, causing me
to delete real e-mails and send false SpamCop reports.
   By closing down and changing e-mail account names as required,
which is a huge pain in the ***,  right now I have only a slight spam
problem, and I'm going to great lengths to keep it that way. Every
spam I get now is reported ASAP through SpamCop.
   Apart from that, how are the 'gators these days? :)

Bob, have you tried "Mailwasher"? I use it to see what is on the
server and delete or bounce the crap before I log in and download the
e-mail. Its a small program (1.5 MB), and works fairly well.  You can
e-mail me for details.


Hi Bob,

Well, I've use two different tacts to try and defeat spam, one that works quite well is my return email address that I use on newsgroups (and it IS valid! ;-) - think about what the spammers trim automatically from posted emails and you will get it. The second is to use my email address (parts@...) on the web site, BUT with using escape codes inthe HTML coded part so the spam sniffers don't see it. Look for 'munging your email address' on google for this trick.

With these two in action I only get about ten spams a day to my web site email address(parts@...) and none (0) to the newsgroup return address.

My regular one (JRR@...) I get a couple of hundred a day (sigh) but that is because it is in WAY too many address books around the world - but Eudora catches 95% of spam that comes in that way, leaving me simply to have to review the junk (ten or so a day) that gets to the inbox. If I opened a new address I'm sure it would not get much at all using these procedures.

Oh, and I use a MAC running OS X so viruses, spyware, and worms are of no concern at all.
