Help! I am getting a lot of spam in my home email - about 100 messages
per day. I need some advice on how to effectively block these messages.
The problem is that I have a lot of special circumstances that need to
be considered before I purchase spam blocking software.
1. I am using Outlook Express. I do not want to change to a different
program because my husband really does not deal well with change.
2. We have high-speed cable internet access.
3. My husband and I have an online antique business - so we do not want
to change our email address.
4. Our email address is on our antiques website and also on our ebay
postings - so it is out there for anyone to see - not to mention any
spam software to "harvest".
5. Because of the online business, we WANT to get mail from people we
don't know. Those folks are potential customers. So - even if we could
find something that would put what it thinks is spam into a folder - we
would still have to scan it daily to make sure that we are not missing
any customer inquiries.
6. Our computer is quite well protected for everything else. We have
McAffee Virus Protection, Spyware Protection and Firewall. They all do
an excellent job.
Is there anything out there that will help us, given the above
conditions/limitations? Thanks in advance for the good ideas I know I
will get.
