Today's E-School is on Spam busters. What a Spam buster is is a program that stops you from receiving Spam in your email. There are other ways to stop Spam but this has proven itself most effective.

 

Spam Busters:

 

    Spam Buster - A separate program that lets you preview your email before you receive it. It allows you to look at it and then decide whether you want to get that or not. You can also add the email to a filter that deletes them before you actually download it. It receives the emails like outlook would and deletes the ones it has in its blacklist as known Spam mailers. (free) http://download.com.com/3000-2369-4668252.html?tag=lst-0-1 Spam Busters is freeware, freeware means it will not cost you to use this program.

 

    XPH Spam Buster - This program adds itself to outlook express and scans for Spam mail and then moves it to a folder in outlook express called "Spam mail". You can later view and delete these emails. ($12.99) Download here: http://download.com.com/3000-2369-10128007.html?tag=lst-0-2 XPH Spam Buster is shareware, It costs $12.99. What shareware is is it allows you to download and try it but will only last for about 30 days. When the 30 days is up it will no longer let you use the program and then you must either register it or uninstall.

 

 

Build-in Features:

 

 

Outlook Express (ver. 5.5) - Outlook Express comes with a built-in rule wizard. The rule wizard creates rules that are triggered by a specified conditions. The rule tells Outlook what to do with a message that meet that condition. Outlook can delete the message, move it to a specific folder, flag it for follow-up, print it, or launch an application, to name just a few. If you go to Tools > Message Rules > Blocked Senders List here you can add email addresses so that you will not recieve any emails from that address. To add a email to block simply click add and put in the address. You can also create message rules. Go to Message > Create Rule From Message  here you can create rules such as

 

"Where the From line sex@porn.com

Microsoft Outlook (2000 or above) - To block a email address go to Tools > Organize and that will bring down a widow on the top of the screen. Where it says Create a rule select the message you want to block and then click on the drop-down after "into" select "deleted items and then click Create. Now when you receive a message from that email address it will move it to Deleted Items. If you want to you can automatically delete items when you close outlook. To do so go to Tools > Options > Other Tab > Check the "Empty the Deleted Items folder upon exiting" and then click ok.
