    1. [BUT] Getting rid of spam
    2. Graeme Fitzpatrick
    3. Hi everyone A while ago, Peter mentioned he was having problems with Spam as the holidays were starting. For several months now, I have been using an anti-Spam program that has been working very well. I hasten to add that I have got nothing to do with this program apart from using it. The program works by checking what is in your email mailbox at your ISP, lets you preview any messages and then delete any that you don't want to read, before they actually reach your inbox on your computer, so you don't have to pay to download lots of garbage. You can also block addresses so that any mail from that sender is automatically deleted. This morning when I logged on, there were a total of 45 messages in my 3 separate email addresses. Within 2 mins, I was able to reduce that to 4 messages that I actually wanted to read. Best thing of all, if you only have 1 email address, the program is totally FREE!!! If you have multiple addresses, you need to buy a more up-market copy of the program but it is still fairly cheap (c $20 US). If you are interested in having a look at it, go to www.mailwasher.net for the free version, or www.firetrust.com for the commercial version. Good luck Graeme
