I cant really understand it, but that new law seems to have worked! i havent recieved any junk mail all day?! WTF? Laws arent meant to work that well...

your email is likely broken

the law is only for uk companies

most spam is yank

I haven't had any in days Both Hotmail accounts included

If you're a bit handy with Linux have a go with Spam Assassin. I'm running it here and, apart from marking Dazza's emails as spam (go figure!) it works really well.

I'm running using it as a module with mail scanner along with a virus checker.

Yeah - i used Spamnet from Cloudmark, works within Outlook, and very well too, picks up just about every one and dumps it in a seperate folder. Cost about £3 a month and worth every penny.

mine puts everything in junk, except those who are on contacts list. Still no spam at all, and one real message. All good in my books!

I must admit, over the last couple of days, the amount of shite coming through has halved so far....

Fingers crossed

What's "spam"

I only get the useful stuff.

Porn links, P*n*s enlargement and Viagra!

Cheers

(I've only had 4 spam mails today)

The only difference I have noticed has been messages asking me to confirm that it is OK for the companies concerned to continue sending me email!

Has something been done to prevent SPAM?

I've not noticed any diference!
Nearly 300 spam emails yesterday, and so far about 140 today!

still none for me, from about 20 a day. How the hell do you manage to sift thru 300 a day?!
