    fed up of spam email

    i've got spam bully installed but i get 98% spam emails, and i'm starting to get mail with very similar names such as [email protected], (mine being [email protected]) but i believe this is not really the name it is sent to.

    is there any way of stopping the crap?

    i have shut down all the extraneous email addresses from all the domains i have, (websites) but the mails just hook onto the legit (webmaster@ and enquiry@)..

    Is this in outlook express?
    I have been using Thunderbird for quite sometime now and after a short trainning period the built in spam remover seems to be keeping it quite spam free.

    Depends what you set the preferences for.
    It can move it to a folder called Junk
    Or it can delete it
