no all junk mail porn and crap like that, i need a filter that i can put in, but i dont want to make my own, any good progz that are free to filter spam?

Dude I am sorry to tell you but one of my hotmail accounts gets about 2x as much crap every day as that!

My mistake came from, for years and years, any time I connected anonymously to an ftp server and it asked for my e-mail address as a password, I actually put my real one in.

Big mistake.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your holiday. Your friend has his own jet? What is he, like UN Embassador to Kuwait or something? You sure its not a remote controller model Jet? Or a corgi miniature?

Its been very quiet here. Not a lot going on I am afraid.

It works like this:

The Cloudmark SpamNet Community
Spam is the name for the annoying unsolicited commercial email (UCE) we receive that promises a livelier sex life, a high-paying work-at-home job, and a lower mortgage rate. The people that send this junk email make money when a very small fraction of the recipients respond to the advertisement and buy something. To reach the maximum number of people, and maximize their income, the spammers send the same message to millions of email boxes. Because the same spam message lands in everyone's box, only one person needs to report the message for it to be filtered by SpamNet. So, each of your reported spam messages to SpamNet can instantly help thousands of other people in the SpamNet community.

If you're ready to stop spam in your Inbox and help the growing fight against spam, download the SpamNet add-in.
When a spam message is reported by a SpamNet user, the message is sent to a central computer or database that records the spam. When the other SpamNet users download their email, the software checks the new messages to see if it contains reported spam. If the system finds a spam message, SpamNet moves it to the Spam box. This process ensures that your Inbox remains clean of spam messages and that none of your email is lost or blocked.

The collaborative SpamNet community is composed of thousands of individual users and Internet Service Providers who receive millions of email daily. Today, their collective reporting power captures over 90 percent of all spam sent out on the Internet, but that isn't enough. To eradicate spam completely from our Inboxes, we need thousands of new reporters. To ensure that each SpamNet reporter only reports UCE, each participant is ranked according to the number of good reports they have made.
