Join Date: Aug 2008 | #1 May 20, 2009 @ 16:49:35 All of a sudden I'm getting lots of "phishing" emails. You know, the ones that say they have $12.5 million they need to transfer and I'll get 60% by helping them.
So, I show the full headers, copy, paste that into an email and forward it to these two places:
phishing-report@us-cert.gov
reportphishing@antiphishing.org
Maybe they'll get shut down.
This is for you scammers

Yahoo is really bad with the whole spam filter thing. Gmail and Hotmail are way better at it | | |

Join Date: Aug 2005 | #8 May 20, 2009 @ 17:34:55 That's everything that got through in a 2-month period?
Pretty good if you ask me, especially since almost half of the emails there aren't spam. | | |

Suppose but compared to Gmail and Hotmail thats a lot. (btw thats the normal inbox not the spam inbox)
Theres also the fact i barely use yahoo for anything and just put things like CNet there because i know they are going to keep sending me pointless updates. | | |

Join Date: Jun 2009 | #13 Jun 19, 2009 @ 21:38:20 ever heard of Mailwasher? It works with your e-mail client. you can put a check in every spam you get & then you will not receive any. Mailwasher blocks everything you don't want downloaded into your main e-mail box. you can actually read what is on your server before you download it. so you don't have to download every thing on your server, just put a checkmark in delete, then click process mail & your outlook express or whatever popsup with only the mail you want. the checkmark ones will not download, they delete by themselves.
Mailwasher is a must have program. It's from Firetrust & you can find it by typing in Mailwasher in Google. I don't want to use the main linx as I just joined here.
Hope this helps  | | |
