MS Office Forum / Outlook / 3rd Party Utilities / March 2006Spam Filters
Hi, I have a friend who is getting unwelcome mail from 2 or 3 people. They often use anonymous e-mail addresses to send inappropriate mail. We are looking for a spam blocker and, preferably, a spam block which can help trace back the anonymous e-mail sender. He is running Office 2003 and has the junk mail filter on, but we are looking for something more robust. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rich Are you looking for something free or something to buy? I don't personally know of any decent free personal spam filters for outlook, but Symantec has a nice SPAM management suite for outlook, and so do most of the top vendors. A trip to Best Buy or even Walmart should turn up something good. I don't think any of them can track anonymous e-mail senders. If they are using a fake address, all you will be able to tell is the sending domain, an IP address of the originating server and maybe a name if your lucky. Other than that, it takes some manual investigation to track anything down. Thanks Joe > Hi, > I have a friend who is getting unwelcome mail from 2 or 3 people.

It's free and works like a charm, but it is a serverside program. http://martijnjongen.com We also use Outlook 2003 with the junk email filter, and have upgraded to IHateSpam. Its probably the best spam blocker out there. >Hi, >I have a friend who is getting unwelcome mail from 2 or 3 people.

Norton is a pain, plus they put [NORTON:SPAM] in the supbject line of suspected spams whether you want them to or not (and you can't delete it if it's not actually spam). I recently got SpamBayes (it's free and trainable) and it's doing better than Norton ever did. SpamBayes junk filter is also better than Outlook's...and easier to use. > Hi, > I have a friend who is getting unwelcome mail from 2 or 3 people.
