How to Block Repeat Spammers
Anti-Spam software developers use this logic to build block lists! Here is the simple logic.. Spammers use known email address lists! Lists sold online. Spammers send the same message to multiple email addresses.. the same “display name”, same “title”, same sending “email address domain”, same “body content”, so software developers use these “known” factors into their […]

Optus Mail Block Review
Optus Spam & Phishing Filter is out of touch and a waste of time! Everyone has their own software. We use AVG and SPAMFighter. We simply do NOT need Optus filtering our mail. Customers should be able to opt-out. The filter constantly blocks good emails sent to known customers and brand companies. I don’t have […]
Outlook: Sender DISPLAY Name Messsage Rule
How to manage emails by DISPLAY name. Display name is the name given to the field we see in the Inbox, sometimes confused as the Sender Name.

Spam Emails: trаnsfer 0.5 bitcоins
Has anyone else received “trаnsfer 0.5 bitcоins” message over the past few days (August-September 2018)? We’re receiving 100 an hour. To make matters worse, setting up a rule to deal with them doesn’t work. First I tried: “bitcоins” and then “0.5 bitcоins” but the rule does not remove all the messages. Any suggestions? From: MiguelGyday […]
Spam Emails: No Senders Email Address
The latest bout of spam emails flooding in is proving to be very difficult to combat. The usual practice of using rules to manage them is more time consuming than deleting them one by one. SPAMfighter is not dealing with them. The issue is that each message has a different: Senders name Senders email address […]
Hotmail Blocklist (S3150)
No-one likes spam specially HOTMAIL. Personally, I’d rather HOTMAIL adopted the Gmail approach of moving suspected spam into a spam folder instead of rejecting the email. In this case, HOTMAIL has determined my Internet Service Provider’s IP Address is blocked, not me or my IP address but the entire network. My ISP is Optus (Australia) so effectively, […]
How To Block Senders Name: Outlook

Spam Idea: Outsmarting Spammers
I’ve got an idea how to automate moving spam from the inbox direct to the delete folder: I operate a publishing company with multiple email addresses. Every day, spam messages flood in with the “same” spam message going to multiple email addresses. Doesn’t this mean, this is a way of identifying spam> Isn’t this an […]

Spam: See Your Invoice
August 2016 – The latest round of spam emails invite the reader to view an invoice that is attached to the email. What I find alarming is the spammer has managed to send these spam emails to email addresses which are not in the public domain. They are email addresses we setup for specific use, […]

More Spam from Audrey Simmons
