mail rules
I have been plagued with mail from "iREWARDSTECH"
No matter how many times I have tried to unsubscribe through the link the messages provides, I keep getting mail from different addresses, all connected to IREWARDSTECH. I haven't a clue how I ended up on their list. I tried making a mail "rule" so that any mail with the text "iREWARDSTECH" doesn't get downloaded from the server. But when I tried mailing myself a message with said word in the text I end up with the message in my inbox. Am I missing a step here? any ideas?? Last edited by Dan; 09-21-2002 at 09:41 AM. |

Just to make sure, you did create the rule to use:
"Where the message body contain specific words" and "Delete it" and for the specific words you used "iREWARDSTECH", correct? |

You'll want to download and delete it, if you leave them on the server they'll accumulate and take up space over time which might cause a problem on the ISP's end.

one other tip... if anyone out there gets unsolicited email, i have a couple of things to try...
1. dont open it (simple, yes, but...) 2. dont ever click on a link inside the email to unsubscribe... this can tell that "company" that you have a valid email address to spam... other than that, there's only so much we can filter, yet it still appears.... Grrrrrrrrr |

DrZ, there's another option: "Delete it from the server". Do you know if that option really works?

As much as I hate Outhouse Express...It's filter should work.
Set it up so both sender and subject contain the offending word, and choose to delete it, or delete from server. I tried the exact word using those filtering options in Eudora, and it works fine. |
