Spam - all you can eat

If I ranked the questions I receive most often, inquiries about ways to eliminate spam would be in the top five (No. 1 is still “should I turn my computer off when I go to bed at night?”)

I’ll leave the No. 1 question alone, but - when it comes to spam - like it or not, the answer is: “You can’t totally eliminate spam.”

But there sure are ways to reduce the volume. This article offers some suggestions.

By the way, the built-in spam blocker in Vista seems really effective. I had been using Norton Anti-Spam but Vista does a much better job. I was especially impressed that the built-it spam blocker was able to catch all those stock tip e-mails that Norton couldn’t touch.

Try Ella Spam Blocker from www.openfieldsoftware.com.

Works only with Outlook, it’s free, intuitive, and trainable. I pull leads from my mail and the spam was terrible. This has made my life a breeze. Our IT now reccommends this program to his clients
