NYCPHP Meetup

[Jeff Siegel]

That's an easy one! I just invoke the CAN SPAM Act! It works like a 
charm! ;)

But on a serious note, this problem is really getting out of hand. With 
Outlook Express (and Outlook) I was using Spamkiller which does a fairly 
decent job of filtering the mail. (I wrote a mini-review of it which you 
can see at http://ezdatasolutions.com/About/index.html ...software 
reviews are at the bottom of the page). There are other programs out 
there that are similar to Spamkiller.

I use OL2003's junk mail filters too and have them put everything in the
Junk E-mail folder automatically - works better than any system I've
seen, including server side.  The only problem, however, is that if you
use OL2003 against Exchange 2003 in online mode, the filtering is
unavailable.  Good ol' Microsoft... always thinking.

To be fair, however, Exchange 2003 will soon have the email filtering
built in, which I'm excited about.
