SPAM

[Jan Donnithorne]

Background: I am using Entourage 2004 for MAC #11.4.0/MAC OS 10.4.11. Due to
belonging to an online dog "Rescue" Group which req'd my email address I
dumbly (yes I did and it was dumb of me) gave my personal Entourage address
immediately resulting in me receiving hundreds of SPAM messages per DAY
almost immediately. This number continues to expand. Can someone please
recommend what they feel to be the "BEST"MAC ANTI-SPAM/VIRUS PROGRAMME there
is presently available.Many thanks! Jan

Always select "hide my address" if possible. Set up special emails accounts
just for this type of thing. Use Alias addresses if those are available with
your account. On newsgroups, use a no spam address.

The built in Junk Mail Filter is good IF you keep a good Address Book.
However, SpamSieve $30 is excellent. You can train it and it's been
recommended by Entourage users for years. The author Michael Tsai is very
responsive to any support questions you might have, but it's so easy to use
I doubt you will need to ask.
