I've installed and configured SpamAssassin for my company. Works not bad.

Useful info - will be trying some myself.
What i dont understand is why i get mails that aren't even for me, not spelt right or even just a bit like my email eg - icklepammie@, not my email but i still get spam for that and many others in my outlook!

Grrr.

You might not see your name initially, but it will be in a long list of recipients somewhere - as a nasty mass mailer program works its way through its combination of users for that run.

Since joining the webteam I now get between 50 - 100 spam messages each day, mostly adverts for stocks and shares or viagra tablets of some sorts - I have NO idea what the previous webteam were up to

Cheers - Frank

Not neccessarily anything. Spam companies use robots to make up combinations of email names / possible names, plus they monitor user names via associations.

Having said that though - they just might have been up to no good...
