Is it possible to get a program which filters incoming email? - what i want it to do is stop emails coming in which have words that i've chosen in the titles

i'm getting so many advertising ones it's bl**dy annoying, the ones i want to block at the moment are ones containing the words - rolex, viagra, pharmacy, and others which are coming everyday

cheers

 

do a google search for 'mailwasher'

Set up a message rule in outlook/express to do this. Doesn't your isp offer a spam service? Most do nowadays, my BT account traps up to 200 of the buggers per day.

 

Another vote for mailwasher, I use it and it's great. You can blacklist people and it will automatically send the mail back to them with a complaint e-mail attached along the lines of "offensive or inappropriate mail, please stop sending mail to me".

It's pretty much stopped the crap I used to get altogether now.

 

But even with mailwasher you should still check to see if your isp offers a free service to you. You can never have too many spamblockers.

You didn't say but if you have dial up then mailwasher may slow you down.

 

cheers

i have nthell broadband, not sure how to find out if it has a spam service

will try mailwasher :-)
