Hi Neil, I too have had identical junk email. We must be hiring heavy plant from the same company? I use a product called MailWasher from Firetrust. https://www.firetrust.com/products/mailwasher-pro Unfortunately this is a... a.... a.... Windoze product (spit spit) there I've said it. Also unfortunately for non-windoze OS's, it does work VERY well and I would absolutely need a direct as-good replacement if I was ever to move to Linux, or similar. It learns from your acceptance/deletion patterns, you can create Friends lists, and/or Blacklists, and it will reference a global spam list. You can even write your own spam filters, and has a very good Support, and Forums websites. It works VERY well, so much so that I actually paid for a Full (Pro) license. There, how good does it have to be for that? VERY VERY good for me to hand over cash, that's how. Best of all it even sends a false SMTP server user-doesn't-exist-message to the sender if you want it to. The end result is that now I get VERY VERY little spam, and what I do get is spotted and deleted very reliably by the application. Please let me know if you find a non-'doze application that works as well. Cheers Andy. IMPORTANT NOTICE: This e-mail (including all attachments) is confidential and may be privileged.

I get plenty of junk mails which I ignore and delete. Recently I have had several which are slightly different. These come as a reminder about unpaid invoices, so say, which is rubbish. Several say they are from BT, which I don't use, and others which are supposedly from companies I have never heard of. They all invite me to check details by clicking on a URL. Yeah, right. The most recent is for some plant hire, for over Â8000. Plant hire, at my age??? So my question is, is this a new trend, or have I just been lucky until recently? And, above all, what do others do about junk mails, except delete them? I am wondering about changing some of my email account names. Anyway, I feel better for the moan, thanks, Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
