Ok, so probably most people here get spam e-mails from time to time.
For years I had never received any spam, but over the last few weeks I have suddenly been getting around 10-15 e-mails a day at my personal e-mail account. This is strange because I am quite careful about whom I give my personal e-mail address to. I suspect someone may have entered my e-mail address (or just the domain) at websites without my knowledge, because I certainly haven't.
The Outlook XP rules and filtering feature is next to useless, because I still have to download the spam e-mails, and nearly every single time I have to add a new rule or keyword to block the spam.
I found a program called Mailwasher, which has a "bounce" feature. This supposedly tells the spammer that my e-mail address doesn't exist, in the hope that the spammer will stop sending e-mails. Unfortunately the feature appears to have had no overall effect. It's also annoying to have to use two programs (Mailwasher and Outlook) to get to my e-mails.
Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on how I can stop the spam?
