Hi Philip,
Yep, I receive more Spam through my .mac address than my Westnet
address.
I did this awhile back & it cut down the spam I was receiving
through .mac address.
Go to mail preferences and then select the 'viewing' section deselect
the option to 'Display remote images in HTML messages'
Any e-mail with a picture in will not load up now, as email spammers
use images with code in them to validate that an email address has
received the SPAM and is therefore open to receive more SPAM then
this will mean that they will get this return message. As some spam
does not look to contain an image, but does in fact contain one, this
will cut down your spam.
You will soon see that even emails which do not look as though they
have images in them, the button to 'Load' images will be displayed.
You will quickly learn which are legitimate emails which contain
images you want to view and which do not.
Also you might want to re-set the junk mail filter and re-train it so
that it now only filters out real spam.
