Blocking unsuitable mail
 
I run Norton Internet Security, I have a router, so I am not (particularly) worried about viruses or hacking, or my kids accidentally going to porn or other such unsuitable stuff for young kids.

However, what can I use to block mail that has unsuitable content (e.g. foul language, pornographic images)?

I am using Outlook Express as my mail program.

Cheers

I have McAfee Spamkiller,that lets you set up your own filters,ie you can type in every swear word you can think of and it will block out emails with all those words in

Spambayes is free.

Geezer 20 March 2004 08:01 PM
Cheers guys, but Spamkiller won't block photos by the looks of it and Spambayes does not work with Outlook Express.

Any others?

I know it's not outlook express but mozilla comes with a mail client which has excelent spam removal as standard, it's free too :)

You can get a version of Spambayes that works with OE... I'm sure of it

Mr.Cookie 20 March 2004 10:54 PM

What version of Norton do you have.

Geezer 21 March 2004 11:46 AM
Norton 2002, but I pay for updates, so it may well be upgraded - 8.07

Geezer,

Are you looking for something that will just plain refuse any emails with "img src" tags in (ie. images in any shape or form) ? My brother is in the middle of writing some spam blocking software and I can think of a few ways this could be incorporated.

Ideally I'm looking for something that will quarantine them, not just delete them. I can then decide whether they are suitable or not.
