Yes, Mother...

It's all that spam and those wonderful viruses. I think I'm about to
munge my address and just dump the one I've been using for all these
years.

Typical day is about 600 emails of which maybe two or three dozen mean
anything important.

Hey Bob,

When those 'Microsoft' viruses started we switched from Norton to
Zone Alarm and have not had the headaches and crammed-full Inbox
like we did before. It costs about the same as the Norton did
but seems to work a lot better.

DISCLAIMER: I don't work for them or know anybody that does. I'm
not a doctor nor do I play one on TV. LOL

Here's their site if you want to check them out:

Yup, I use ZA plus Mailwasher (http://www.mailwasher.net/) free
version and really haven't had that much of a problem.

Do they all contain Attachments around 140k in size?... If so, what's up
with this?... My junk email for this newsgroup has been getting them
too... it feels up my Yahoo Mail! quota each day...

Zone Alarm is a firewall... Norton is an Anti-Virus Program... two
entirely different beasts... How is Zone Alarm keeping junk email out of
your account?...

ZA can be setup to let you know if anything that makes it to your hard
drive is attempting to access the net and/or block it from doing so.
The virus can't spread that way. Mailwasher lets you delete mail from
the server without ever downloading it in the first place.

BTW, I run Norton on top of 'em both. Plus a hardware firewall in my
wireless router with 128 encryption and ip address "munging".

If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

I usually snip the header of my email that advertises Giant Company's Spam
Inspector but I have been plagued with the same problem you have been
having. It is extremely stressful for me as I do a lot of work via email.
It quarantines the bad email before it hits outlook and unclutters the email
box. I still have to online and clear stuff of the web server.

I have been trying the product referenced below and will likely purchase it.
Conversely, if anyone knows of any other product, I would be grateful.

A month ago, I set up a filter on my *server* to reject anything larger
than 140K. It doesn't bounce the mail back; it sends back a "Temporarily
unable to accept very large messages" error message.

Best regards,
Bob

Can this be handled on a Yahoo account?...

Go with http://fastmail.fm. Yo9u can chose from about 40 domain
names, set up aliases for diffrent purposes, send mail with SMTP from
anywhere you have a client mailer installed, and retreive with POP or
IMAP.

Best of all, easily configuarble virus and spam protection. I don't
get any of those viruses (and I do post with my real address in some
groups).

Probably not, but I don't know. It depends on what kind of control Yahoo!
gives you. My ISP has a web interface as well as POP3, and the web
interface has some filter controls.

Bob

Maybe it's overkill, but I use Zone Alarm as a firewall, Grisoft's AVG
anti-virus software, and Mailwasher. Since using these I have never had
a virus successfully invade my PC and SPAM mail has been reduced to 1 or
2 per week.

Wayne, I use mailwasher and McAffee's firewall. I use Norton as
antivirus, but still get about 20 to 30 e-mails a day from "microsoft"
patches, warnings, et cetera. I don't know what the heck is going on,
and I'm a step away from changing my main e-mail; something I would like
to avoid since I have many important business and professional contacts
through there, and am listed in a couple of guides under this e-mail.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Richard

You process is absolutely on target, but I pesonally don't like either
McAffee or Norton. That's the reason I chose ZA and AVG. In my work for
various companies I have been forced to use McAffee and Norton. In most
cases it was easy to see many of the gaps they have.

Steve, Yeah, we're doing the same - Zone Alarm, Mail Washer and
Norton in the background (hey, it's already paid for...! LOL).

Thanks for answering John's question. I let DH handle the
'technical' stuff while I play on the cooking groups.
