    Spams ...

    I'm surprised to see the number of spams I receive decreasing this month... In July I get an average of 16/day and in august 5/day ... only (please don't send me some more! I really don't need them).

    Are the spammers on holidays too?

    I'm using Spamihilator to filter my mails and it's really a good software. Only few goes thru.
    Best regards.

    I use Mailwasher which is a nice piece of software, does a good job of sorting out spam. I've not heard of Spamihaltor - maybe I'll check it out later.

    Don't worry Yves, the spammers are alive and well - this forum (and many like it) get many registrations from email providers that have been blacklisted - just this week, I've had to block or ban 10 new members from gawab.com email addresses, for example.

    Do a quick google search for our "newest" member YuriyHoy and you'll see he's joined 100's of others with the intention of spamming forums later.

    It's here: www.spamihilator.com . You have some usefull add-in to add on it (they are on the site too) and it do a really great job. Their "learning filter" is very efficient. It take some weeks to learn your habits and then it's very efficient.

    Yes, I know. I was watching the memberlist at Asawa forum and highlighting the spammers. Anyway, our registration system there filters most of them.
