This is a really useful tip. I'm downloading 'The Bat' as I write this, but would appreciate your comments when you have evaluated it.

What it is? keith Becky is email software and I have been using it for a number of years. It has good filtering capabilities which allows me to create a good number of folders to accomodate all the messages I receive from approximately 22 mailing lists and Yahoo groups. Any incoming emails are then delivered to the various folders. In addition it allows me to check messages held on my ISP's mail server prior to downloading, so all the junk messages are marked on the server for deletion prior to me downloading the genuine email messages. Another decent email program is The Bat which has similar functions to Becky, I've just installed the The Bat for a 30-day trial. Harry

Mailwasher is my choice. Same sort of thing, but it lets you 'bounce' spam - those sending spam messages think it never reached you. -Original Message- From: Francis Ebury [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25-Oct-03 23:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: pentax-discuss-d Digest V03 #1290 This is a really useful tip.

The normal result of mailwasher (or other post- delivery anti-spam tools) is that the poor innocent third party whose mail identity is being spoofed in the envelope data finds that his mailbox fills up with spam bounces and rejection messages. The best thing to do with spam is to silently discard it. In the vanishingly remote case that you can actually determine a valid email address for the sender the chances that anyone actually reads any bounce messages sent to that address is basically zero.

Even better: Be careful where you leave your address on the internet. And if you want to leave it some risky place, make a new address especially assign to this. Then at least your private addresses are left spam free. I´ve got 5 addresses getting almost no spam at all, including this one, but gave up one a couple of months ago because of spam. DagT
