    Spam Problem?...Who me?

    Once again, this is probably the gazilionth post on this frustrating topic since computers were invented. But I just have to find a solution!.

    First problem. I am running Windows XP Pro x64 and there is a definite lack of good Spam filters available for x64. When I ran x32 bit XP I ran Cloudmark Desktop and it worked great. But over the past three years I have light spam loads and not so light spam loads depending on if I was running some type of filter.

    And right now it's heavy again and to make matters worse I'm just getting blitzed to death with "Penis Enlargement" messages. Luckliy I'm secure enough in my manhood to not take these all seriously, but I'm just getting hit with tons of them. And it drives me and my inbox crazy! And why is it these types of ads lately? Like ten a day!

    So now on to the probably one of the most asked questions in web tech forums and discussion groups! What do I do about it?

    If I had the money, I'd probably go with OnlyMyEmail, that nice server-based program that I hear is pretty good. I like community-based Spam programs where your mail gets compared with what a huge network of members are getting, like Cloudmark or SPAMfighter. Neither of which work on XP x64.

    Do you know of any others of this type? If not, what would be your best recomendation for the best bayesian filter (I think that's what they call it) type, which really never deletes the Spam, but just puts it in a seperate folder. By the way, a freeware utility would be nice too. SpamBully has at least something different, where you can actually bounce back messages to spammers. Know anything about that?

    So that's it. Just one more question about this mystery that we all hate, called Spam

    I have the My Yahoo Spam filter collect all mine. The folder usually packs up about 180 a day and in my inbox if any get through there is a, this is spam button, and delegates future emails from those senders to the Spam folder after checking the box. I think Gmail in google has the same filters and functons. I run more than 1 email account and only give out my Isp one to trusted sites like this one. Everybody else gets the Yahoo email account.
