Title: No junk e-mail since 21 Nov
Post by: rickus on Dec 04, 2007, 07:39:03
I use Outlook Express most of the time and go into webmail a couple of times a week to see if there is anything in junk that was genuine. There have usually been 2 or 3 items a day in junk. However nothing has gone there since 21 Nov and no junk has been coming thru to my inbox.

Anyone else got the same?

I think I'm still getting the same amount of junk, although it's mostly filtered successfully.

Have as belated welcome karma, by the way.  :)

@rickus

IDNet are now using boundary servers to reduce spam. IIRC, they have got rid of 70% of the luncheon meat before it hits the main filter.

We can be slow, but we're nice with it. :) I'll see that karma and I'll raise it.  :angel:

Reduced spam, are IDNet not Monty Python lovers then?

Monty Python seem to be having a revival in the forum this week, Glenn. ;)

I keep meaning to buy Life of Brian, but never get around to it.

Orange are, checked my inbox again the other day over 1000 spam emails now, their  tinned meat filter has more holes than a sieve, no wonder freeserve addresses got blocked so often by other ISP's  :(
