Your suggestion to install CLOUDMARK to help eliminate the spam was a bummer!

It slowed the operation of MS Outlook and then caused several problems. I had to uninstall the product and delate every trace of the program I knew about before Outlook would operate correctely-not hang up!

It is recommended that you switch to an ISP that uses one or all of the anti-spam databases (RBL, RSS, DUL, Spamcop, etc.) About 40% of the internet is using these services, with good success

The following is a list of spam-fighting tools and services

Spam Arrest is a tool to eliminate spam

SpamCop will automatically send complaints about spam for you! All you have to do is establish a userid, then forward your spam to SpamCop SpamCop will generate complaints to all appropriate parties, upstreams, and open email relay ISPs Using SpamCop is probably the best thing you can do to help eliminate spam Effective and highly recommended!
