Comment:
I have been receiving a huge amount of the undeliverable emails (up to 600 at a time). I did a search and saw that this was discussed back in 2004.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I can stop this insanity?
I am on an HP PC, I use Norton Internet Security, and I use Outlook for my email. The two email addresses I use are registered through Yahoo.
There has been a lot of discussion on Hot Mail having a lot of spam, but I have found this to not be true, I have 2 mail accounts one is Hot mail and one is Gmail, both of them I may get 1 spam every couple of days and gmail lets you know, I would suggest that you change from Outlook and make it a Web based mail such as Hotmail, or Gmail, that way its not on your computer unless you download it, a lot of your spam is coming from the web sites you visit get a couple of email addresses and when you visit these sites give them one that you do not use for personal use, you can have more than one with gmail and when you give your email out use one for people you know and one for signing up for something like a forum.
try this free anti-spam utility, my clients rave about it: http://www.agnitum.com/products/spa... Make sure to train it so it handles your mail properly
