[dba-Tech] RE: [AccessD] OT - Spam Blocker

Hello John B,

Do you believe that this Outlook Express spam tool is completely different
to the Outlook one that Mr Colby referred to recently?

I think that you are suggesting that it is different.  In fact, I think that
you are referring to iHateSpam.

Would you just confirm that for me, If so, does it use the same technology
the Bayesian filters ?

It is high time from me to do something about my own spam.

One problem I think I created for myself is that my email address has been
mark at mydomainname.ie

I wonder if I notify all my friends that I have ever contacted and tell them
that I am changing my email address to mark.breen at mydomainname.ie would my
spam levels instantly drop to almost nothing?

In other words, do the bots just send spam to christianname at domainname or do
they just have my email address.

Thanks in advance for any comments

Mark
