Germs and Spams

I'm battling a nasty cold that has left me foggy and useless. My manager is telling me to go home... I'm just trying to hang in for a 2pm meeting concerning a project I'm working on. After that, I'll probably bail out and head home.

I've finally become fed up with my email spam situation... I've started investigating some spam-filtering options for my Mac. Right now, it looks like the best solution will be Eudora 6.1 (with SpamWatch), If that doesn't work well enough, I can always add on SpamSieve later. Hopefully that will save me from of the frustration of the 150 or so spams a day that I'm currently receiving.

Anyone have other suggestions for someone working in a Mac environment?

Hi David!

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I bet you never expected to find a post from me. How's life? (Other than having a cold, of course.) I'll ask Heather (Felton) about spam and Mac's. I know she uses a Mac at work. I'd love to hear from you some time.

i used spamsieve and it was good, but then it ran out and i didn't buy it. also, now there are those annoying script menus everywhere. i wanted something that would trace the sender info, like spamcop.net, but it didn't. earthlink's webmail does, which is cool, but only useful if you're away from your computer.

I use spamsieve and it works really well, but I'm sick of downloading a shitload of spam, would like to have something that blocks it at source. Have decided to delete my biggest offending account and swap over to gmail from google.
