How do you root out the Spammers who have figured out how to get past your Spam Filters?
Spammers have gotten more sophisticated in getting around your spam filters. Each day, I find my inbox increasingly hounded with emails from people I don't know who want me to check out some **** website or to sell me ***** enlarging pills, etc., etc. You know the drill. I think there is some rule where they are supposed to provide you with an opt-out link to get off their distribution list. But they're not doing it. Instead, they just provide a web URL with a coded address so it doesn't automatically trigger a link filter, but they still get past my Spam filter because it is a new name each day from someone I've not filtered out before. They must have some kind of email address generation program that lists a new name with each email…but to root out each and every one of these would take lots of time I would prefer doing other things. And I don't want to abandon my primary email address as I have too much invested in it right now.

mark the e-mails as spam, also in the e-mail, click "full header view", there you will be able to see the ip address.
There has been a huge increase in spam since the all new mail. I have started to use a free programme Mail Washer rated 5 out of 5 by consumeractive magazine. It's not perfect but it certainly helps. Download from
