Stopping at the source: Spam needs to be stopped at the source. Current methods receive spam mail and then filter them and get identified as spam. although it is easy to say this, problem is that sif someone want to send you mail and he presses the send button, mail is on the way to you unless it is blocked opn the way. It cant be blocked on the way because it is not easy even for the best spam filter to judge precisely whether a mail is a junk and unwanted by you.
Stopping at the Inbox: This is actually filtering at the inbox. like what Outlook 2003 does.
If you are a user of hotmail or yahoo, you have options like receiving mail from only addresses in the address book. You can also enable its spam fighting features to get a filtered list. It is frustrating that you still might need to look at the filtered, junk folder once in a while. But that’s the fact of the moment.
Outlook 2003 Junk mail filter option:
Information on Spam
Microsoft Outlook 2003:
Microsoft’s Outlook receives spam and filters them as they come into your inbox. Suspected Spam are moved to a separate junk folder for later verification.
