Question for Telewest Blueyonder users

[AlanHo]

Blueyonder recently introduced spam filtering and virus checks on incoming Emails.

I have had several notifications from them that they have intercepted and deleted Emails addressed to me which have had viruses - which is good.

However the daily flood of up to 150 spam Emails I receive has continued unabated - is this the experience of other users.

Mailwasher continues to do a splendid job - especially in conjunction with a programme called In-Boxer.

I know that I can possibly overcome the spam problem by changing my Email address etc - but in my case this is not a practical option for business reasons.

I to have had an E-Mail of Blueyonder saying they have deleted an E-Mail with a virus attached to it, I just hope they do not delete an innocent attachment as you cannot see who sent it.

Anything that cuts down on viruses is welcome though.

I have had no increase in spam mail recently.

I didn't express myself very well - the point I was trying to make was that I expected the volume of spam to fall - but it has remained the same. This indicates to me that the blueyonder anti-spam thingy isn't working .

I think they turned the spam filter off again because it was causing problems?

I just can't get my head round spam being legal. The government are a pack of whacks.

I have two pop3 email accounts,5 hotmail accounts and one yahoo account....and I get VERY little spam...(4 or 5 a week).

Am I lucky or carefull??

One of my pop3's is blueyonder BTW and I get NOTHING on that one.....barring the incredible 30-50 a day virus attacks I endured a couple of months ago...but they were indirect :blink:
