Hi all

Since changing to Swiftdsl I have, up until a couple of days ago, not 
had any spam.

Now I find I am getting them with what I assume are undesirable programs 
enclosed within zip files

If you save the attachment and look at the archive contents it has a 
*.txt file in it.

If you extract the file you find it is actually *.txt "a hole lot of 
spaces" .exe

They seem to be getting sneakier.

I've just had my connection upgraded to 1500/256  It's awesom, 10Mb in 
under a minute.

I'm very tempted to keep it after the trial runs out.

Regards

Dennis.

Subject:   Spam filters

Hi,

Does anyone know of a spam filter which would allow one to receive eMail from specified sites only?
I have a limited number of sites that I want eMail from so can't understand why I need  a spam filter to analyze 
the whole text of every eMail.

Regards

I use Telstra's service prior to receiving mail to my system and so don't use a Spam filter, however I have read
good things about "Junkspy" - it's presently at v 3.0 and there is a demo version available so that you can "try
before you buy".

Cheers/2
