Gary, if you are running your own mail server you may want to consider a public spam filtering service, of which there are several available. I don't use one myself because my mail service provider actually does a great job, and has for years, of filtering out spam and malware infected email. Microsoft recently joined the bandwagon with respect to mail filtering services by launching its own hosted service to provide spam filtering. As far as I know, the customer's mail server does not have to be running Microsoft Exchange in order to use this service. Here is the url to the www page that explains Microsoft's service which they offer under the name of "Exchange Hosted Services": http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/services/filtering.mspx here is the url the www page for a 30 day trial: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/services/trial.mspx here is the url to the www page with the pricing ($1.75/month per month (per destination email address, I assume, and with a minimum of 5 addresses)) http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/services/buy.mspx and here is a url to the datasheet for the filtering service http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/2/c/62ca449f-8516-4d43-ac9d-e1f85eae0122/EHS_DataSheet_Filtering_FINAL.doc In the data sheet the following claims are made with respect to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for this service" Microsoft Exchange Hosted Filtering provides comprehensive Service Level Agreements (SLAs) backing network performance and spam and virus filtering effectiveness. The SLAs include: Filtering Network Infrastructure ? Service availability: 99.999% service uptime ? Email Delivery: Email delivered in seconds, with a commitment to delivery in less than two minutes Filtering Accuracy ? Virus Blocking: 100% protection against all known viruses ? Spam Capture: Capture of at least 95% of all spam messages ? False Positive Ratio: Fewer than 1 in 250,000 messages incorrectly marked as spam Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks, LLC *Serving the SmartDigital^TM home, entrepreneurial enterprise, and emerging network service provider markets* * * Gary Baribault wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Could le mailing list administrator add 'maemo' in square braces at the > beginning of the subject for the list please, or something else simmilar? > > I get a ton of spam in a day with all kinds of stupid stuff in the > subject line..
