seriously though: does anyone know of effective anti-spam programs for microsoft outlook? ideally i'd like something that does more than just filter.

What do you want it to do, make a citizen's arrest on the sender?

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 28 March 2003 18:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

aren't there fancy ones that send back messages what fake the receiver into thinking you don't exist? that'd be fab.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 28 March 2003 18:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

My mailup.net account can do that.

More generally, I think Bayesian filtering is the new thing. And I believe there is a beta version of a plugin called Spammunition that works with Outlook. See here for an approval.

haha at work we decided to invent an email that delviers a MASSIVE JOLT OF ELECTRICITY to s/he who opens it (good for late delivery of ad copy especially)

then we remembered this thread: the WRONG HANDS!!

I got that too - but from Motter Jarreau.

I think Yahoo is getting smarter as these fellows are beginning to land in the Bulk folder with their alternative character-set brethren.

The end of an era.

Christopher Noble (how "noble" is it to be selling Phentermine, Viagra and Propecia?)

VERY.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 31 March 2003 09:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't seem to be getting any of the good ones. The most recent ones have been:

Absalom Bejar
William O. Riley
Eldon Biage
Luis Drurys
Diamond Jim

A chap called Nick keeps sending me mails about Viagara and other penile enhancement techniques. And I've received two mails from Saint Andrews, who are slyly trying to sell me a wedding.

"From : Saint Andrews
To :
Subject : Wedding

Dear Lara
You made an inquiry about a wedding at St Andrew's. Did you want to proceed with that wedding here?
Nick Spezer"

Now all I need to organise is a hairdresser, shoes and, oh yes, someone I'd like to share more than a couple of months of my life with!

"Las Vegas A Bit Overly Expensive?" asks Malich Bringman of Khuu Jecmenek. I don't expect Khuu to reply - he's such a stickler for grammar.

I'm going to keep this going until the end of the war.

Breach Mcredmond gives Elliston Deibert the cable filter info he requested and I somehow get in the way.

One more... Tony (real last name unknown) just emailed me to let me know that I can purchase secret documents proving that aliens have been visiting the earth and have a secret Antarctic base.

Barton Luckenbach offered to help me with guaranteed dating. Indeed.

Mostowy Deaderick is a wonderful name, in a way I'm glad I'm already married or else I would just wait around until the day I met a Mostowy Deaderick.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 15:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

But if you took the name Nicole Deaderick your initials would be N.D.

"Hung Diggs"

I am going to the town hall and changing my name to this right after work today.

Ned, you had to go there, didn't you? Talk about ruining my fantasies of perfect happiness!

You are definitely not worthy of the name Mostowy.

Yahoo mail is SO STUPID. I get mail in my regular inbox from "dzqelky qmzoikl" and I get "dartmouth admissions office" in my BULK MAIL, which i usually delete without reading! (they didn't send an admission, just said when the mail goes out. but stupid, stupid yahoo.)

Some of yours are outstanding, Paul. I don't seem to get the ones that would look good on a paperback cover - Gay Cross and Pansy Pearl f'instance.

Today, while I slept, Jarva Charvat and Kilpatrick Eagy were keen for me to lose weight - while I slept.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 3 April 2003 06:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

I can lose weight and, yet, *gain muscle* while I sleep if I heed the advice of Amabile Boggi and Ruhland Reisser.

Five years at college were clearly wasted when Flumerfelt Scammon and Callez Eatherly could simply have sent me a University diploma (even a PhD!).

Okay, who also got the spam from "Saddam Hussan 1"? From "voila.fr" and in an adorable French accent.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Friday, 4 April 2003 14:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

Preskitt Lawson and Amoroso Laible are also wise to the idea that Uni degrees are worth the paper they're written on, but no more than that.

Michael what have you done that yr spam names are so *consistently* better than anyone else's?!!?

I can only suspect that this scattergun spamming actually has a highly polished seed of Market Research at its core; I'm getting all the good ones (I'm not sure that's true, actually - Lara, Rosemary, Paul and Nick have some smack-faced nuggets) because They know I have some small facility for this myself and I get a bang out of it.

And I need a septic tank and an MSc.

No mail today :(

The greatest spam email I've ever received:

From: steveng [mailto:steveng @ 14zero.pl]
Subject: Hi there steveng
Elvet Bridge is now largely pedestrianised. June 3, 1894, p. I cannot betray that trust.

Notes:

I am also a Steven G, but not @14zero.pl
Elvet Bridge exists, and in fact has been largely pedestrianised
I can't find anything of interest that happened on June 3, 1894
What does the ", p." bit mean?
By posting this, I've probably betrayed that trust
