I have never had a problem before with spam, but now my mailbox looks like this..






loads of emails all from the same company http://www.webwurx.org/, but all from different names and hoax hotmail addresses. I can't filter them any way.

Is there any way of actually stopping these, or am i just resigned to recieveing them [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Get some Antispam software. Deals with the majority of it.

Send a letter to your ISP with my contact details and I'll set them up with a server based solution.

I cleared out my account at my ISP yesterday (they run a spam catcher) and this morning it had 16 more plus another 5 ready to download to my mailbox. And this for an address that I never quote!

try this thread and see if the spamnet stuff works for you...

I've just kopped another 25+ a day (similar things like different name each time with same message [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] so outlook can't filter it and the BT filter is pants IMHO ) and it seems to filter virtually all of it out OK
