Stop Spam

Would like to block spam from entering my inbox. The spam detector from Verizon is a joke because it does not block the spam. I am always getting more than 30 spam every day and my spam filter is on. When I use outlook or windows live I am able to block the spam from entering my inbox. Not happy with losing MSN premium. Why can't Verizon get a better emmail program than what we now have?

Good Morning,
Here are a few links in reference to Spam.

How can I stop spam from someone called AT&T High Speed Internet? I do not know what the email address is.

I am receiving 100's of spam emails. They are all advertising different types of products but they all say they are from AT&T High Speed Internet. I have used the junk filter on them but it does not pick them up as junk. I have to do it manually each time. I have contacted my UVerse provider and they cannot assist because it is getting through Yahoo to Thunderbird. They say that it is a problem that I will have to have assistance from Thunderbird to resolve so that I can have this listed as junk and will not have to do this manually. I am at my wit's end. Please, please help me!

Yahoo has its own junk mail filter (Spamguard), which you should confirm is enabled:
* [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/stop-spam-yahoo-mail-sln3227.html Mail Help | - SLN3227 - Stop spam in Yahoo Mail]
The significance of this is that marking messages as junk in Thunderbird probably isn't integrated with Yahoo's system, so Yahoo may not be getting trained to block them. You might need to go into Yahoo from time to time and mark accumulated junk as spam.
Separately, there are solutions for filtering spam on your computer as the mail is downloaded from Yahoo. Thunderbird has a built-in filter, as described here: [[Thunderbird and Junk / Spam Messages]]. However, if that isn't as effective you would like, there are third party products as well.

How can I stop Spam reaching my iPad?

Could anybody help me stop spam reaching my iPad? We can filter and "junk" mail on the mac but how can you do this on the iPad? ( and iPhone for that matter). Would be grateful for advice. I have found an app called iSpamDrain that may help but am not entirely comfortable with the fact it seems to be cloud based and you have to give them your email password.

I have found what looks like a promising service to try and stop spam, it is http://www.spamcop.net/ces/pricing.shtml
I wonder if anybody else has any experience of it?

Stopping spam via forms

Does anyone know what the technique is to stopping spam when
producing:
1/ form to mail contact pages
2/ mailto links?
is there a technique? other than that of using image random
character way - ie : https://www.fasthosts.co.uk/login/
thanks

I take this one step further. I use TWO fields hidden by CSS:
1. one field is called 'address3' and is empty. I check to
see if it's
been filled in and if it has, the form goes into the bit
bucket.
2. another field is called 'moreinfo' and contains "More Info
Here" as a
value. If that field does NOT contain "More Info Here" on
submit, the form
goes into the bit bucket.
It hasn't failed me yet....

can anyone attest: by using an iCloud email account, that it STOPs spam email from being sent to your contacts?

Please explain in more detail what you want to know. The mere possession and use of an iCloud email account has no effect on what sort of email third parties might send to people who conicidentally happen to be in your contacts.

I have several online email accounts I keep for "junk" on purpose, such as Yahoo.
Here's a great free email service (it's free, though they accept donations, since they don't store anything; they're just forwarding) for keeping spam to a minimum: SpamGourmet.
http://www.spamgourmet.com/
You can set up "disposable" addresses that allow a limited number of messages (configurable by you for each such address) to be forwarded to another email account and then cuts off. Once you set up an account with them, you give out email addresses in this sort of form:
[email protected]
"somewordyoupick" is just a unique identifier for each usage and "x" is the number of messages you want to allow through. E.g.:
[email protected]
and you'd get only two messages from whoever you give that email to and then SpamGourmet will stop relaying. You can have as many "disposable" addresses as you can think of unique identifiers.
Obviously it won't stop spam to existing email addresses, but it's ideal for situations where you have to provide a valid email to get registered, or get some free download, or some such thing, but where you don't want to risk ending up on spam lists. I've been using it for years and I get very little spam (only when someone clearly sold their list).

How can I stop spam

Hi there,
I keep getting these really annoying spam emails. Messages from people claiming the have added me as a friend on some social networking site or another. Te only social networking sites I am on is G+ and Twitter, and none of these requests are coming from those. Instead they are coming from social networking sites that I have never heard of and when I search google for the name of the so called "social network" I get thousands of results saying that it is spam.
This has been going on for months now and I am sick and tired of it. I know I can set my spam filters to exclusive but that only works on the mail.app client and its working across my other devices. Besides, I sometimes do want to recieve emails from people or mailing lists that are not in my address book.
I have an iCloud account, so I was wondering if it would be possible for me to change my iCloud email address. I don't want to create a new iCloud account because I currently have 25GB free from apple as I was a MobileMe user before upgrading to iCloud.
All I want to do is change my iCloud address from xxxxxxx to something unrelated to prevent the spammers sending me all their rubbish trash. I will be easy forme to do a bulk email and send my new address to all the people in my address book and to update my iCloud preferences so I continue to recieve email across all my devices.
Te question is: will this work, will this stop the spammers and can I do this anyway?
Thanks
Jay
<Edited By Host>

Although you can create aliases for your iCloud e-mail address, that doesn't solve the problem... the original iCloud e-mail address will still be the same. Unfortunately, there's no way to change it and keep that 25 GB of space from MobileMe. You would have to create a new iCloud account - which would involve many other hassles as well - and delete the old one.
Spam is, unfortunately, just a fact of life these days. You just need to use a good spam filter that will act on the messages on the server. If Mail on your iMac is successfully catching those messages, leave the iMac running with Mail open. It should file spam away so you will see very little of it on other devices that don't have spam filtering (like an iPhone).
Alternately, if Mail is not doing the job, try a different filter, like SpamSieve.

I have a MacBook Pro how can I stop spam mail

How can I stop unwanted mail, i.e. Bulk mail and spam ?

You can't, other than by changing to a new email address and then never giving that out to anyone other and very trusted friends and families. All you can do is try to filter such messages. Mail in Mac OS X has a Junk Mail filter, as may your email provider, or you can use a third-party filter. I use SpamSieve and have found it well worth the cost. For identifiable senders, you can also set a Rule in Mail to mark junk messages as Read and move them automatically to the mail trash.

Stop spams "sent from" my own email address

Hello guys,
I really need you help with stoping spams sent from my own email address. First, I thought my account had been hacked, then I quickly realized it was just a modified header after a little research online. But still, it doesn't mean there is nothing to worry about. I use mountain lion for home and icloud as my primary email account (which was spamed). I sniffed around apple mail settings for 20 mins- specially under "junk mail" and "rules"- but I couldn't find a way to stop these crazy spams without listing my own email account as junk. I don't want to list mylist on junk list, because it will make me such a loser... Somebody please help me to configure my apple mail so it will seperate spams from the emails I send to myself. Is it even possible, or do I need to use alternatives? Please help. Thank you in advance.

Thank you, Barney. I uploaded a screenshot. I don't know how to show names in the header. The name spammed by the junk mail is "katie", while my own name is "XX song". But the address is same for the different sender names. How is it possible? Is there a way to filter them by sender names, but not the email address?

Stopping Spam Emails

Hi,
I have the following bit of code in my contact page:

this into the first bit of code?

How to validate BC forms to stop spam

I'm having a problem on a couple of my sites - even though we have standard BC validation and captcha's in place my forms are being propogated by spammers.
http://tasbus.com.au/member-application.htm - on this site the spammers are completing the company name with 'google'. Is there a way I can check the value of the field and if it is 'google' then send them an error message?
if (theForm.Company) why += checkEmail(theForm.Company.value); if(why != "google"){alert(why);return false;}
I tried this, which gave the error message, but gives the error for every entry.
thanks
deb

Server side is the only way to prevent spam Deb.
Script stuff does not really work or have any effect because bots are not humans. They read and render and view forms, sites etc in a very different way.
IF you search the forums you will see that BC are very well aware of the current issues and working on sollutions.
