Over the past week or so, my PlanetNintendo address has been getting a lot of porn spam. Gamespy's filter isn't blocking it, so does anyone know of a good filter or something for Outlook Express? Changing clients isn't an option, as that's what my parents and I all use, and I don't think they'd want another client on the computer.

If worse comes to worse, turn off the Preview window and delete it by hand judging by the title. That way at least you don't have to look at it. Gamespy doesn't filter the spam, it marks the spam with "SpamAssassin". You have to filter it yourself. I don't know if Outlook Express lets you use filters at all. Regular Outlook does.

Yeah, that's how the SpamAssassin thing works. I guess I'll just have to make more rules. Thanks for your help.

It may be time consuming to do so, but if it stops the porn, then it's worth it.

Gamespy. Tsk tsk.

Maybe it's a hint to forward them to me.

I knew someone was going to say that. No porn spam for you. >=o <s>If you want some, ask Brian if he'd let you put your email address on the page somewhere.</s> Edit: He says no.

I'm still getting it, though, so I'll just keep trying different things.
