Spews rocks when you need something done.

You got that right. Between those two, and MCI, I clear over a hundred spam e-mails out of my wife's business mailbox every day. I ran SpamX for almost a month, and all it did was increase the amount of spam we got. Those ISP abuse departments don't give a crap about spam, as long as they're making money. Go SPEWS!

I use spamcop.net to analyze and report my spam.

Blueyonder.co.uk is a fairly frequent source of the spam I receive.

Do what I do. Connect your Pc to a router with its firewall. Run SpyBot and Adaware regularly....I stopped getting spam almost totally.

I have, and have always had, all that in place, it doesn't do any good. She uses Mozilla 1.2.1 for Mac OS 9.2.2, and its built-in e-mail client. Unless she switches OS, or browser/e-mail clients, it isn't going to change. MCI/Cyberonic does no spam filtering whatsoever, which doesn't altogether displease me. What does is the fact that I can't find an effective tool to deal with her spam problem unless she changes e-mail clients, or operating systems. She can't close her business e-mail to new clients, and she won't change her on-line surfing habits, or the IP address she web-shops from. I'm too lazy to try and adapt the limited filtering features of Mozilla 1.2.1 to mitigate the problem. So, it's spam city 'round here.
