Morning fellers!

Speaking of anti-spam software, down at the power
company where I werk, I get a lot of spam, about 80 a
day. We use MS Outlook fer mail 'n' the company
installed a program called "I Hate Spam" what picks
90% of the spam outta me Inbox 'n' throws it in a
seperate folder. 

It looks at the sender's addy, the content of the
message 'n' makes a decission if'n it's spam or not.

Anything it misses, ya kin highlight 'n' press a
"Spam" button 'n' it'll remember the sender 'n' send
it to the spam box as well as reporting it to the I
Hate Spam Company - sort of like a anti-virus company,
they keep track of the spam senders 'n' add 'em to
their list. The EVERYBODY's software gets update with
the new junk senders list.

Once in awhile I look thru the spam box. If'n ya find
sommit from a friend what's been put in the spam box
(usually because of the content), ya highlight it 'n'
press a button called "Friend" - then it won't block
messages from that person regardless of content.

Don't know what the software costs but it's been doin
a darned fine job.

'Course, havin me personal E-mail over on Yahoo.com, I
only get a couppla spam mails a day - don't know why,
but it's nice.
