setting up a "killfile"
Hi all Gurus out there
Have seen references to killfiling a spammer/troll or other idiots. I use Outlook Express 6 with ntl as my isp and news.cable.ntlworld.com as my only news reader. Apart from specifically blocking an address, the other filtering options available under Message Rules seem completely ineffective. How can I set up an effective killfile or is this option not available to ntl customers? -- Delboy A common mistake that people made when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Alias Use the Reply to Sender feature of your news reader program to email me. Utiliza Responder al Remitente para mandarme un mail. |

Apart from specifically blocking an address, This is precisely what is meant by most users when they say they have added someone to their "kill file". In other words the blocking of various senders by their mail and news clients. the other filtering options available under Message Rules seem completely ineffective. This rather depends on what you are trying to do. For example OE's rules cannot be used to block IP blocks. Mail clients other than OE may be able to do this. How can I set up an effective killfile or is this option not available to ntl customers? Your ISP has little or nothing to do with this other than that some may kill some spam and/or mail containing viruses and others flag possible spam either by an addition to the message headers or the addition of the word SPAM or the characters [?] where ? is a number to the subject of a message. -- Mike Maltby |
