Stopping Spam

[psarros]

Over the last moth or so, I have been receiving SPAM, I trace the spam all back to raisin.propagation.net (63.249.167.1)

How can I stop e-mail getting to my account if I find this address in the header?

It seems these guys have some sort of mailing list that my address has become a part of.

Thanks

It depends on your Mail Client. Some clients offer the feature to delete Mail on the Mailserver without downloading it.

thanks, but I would rather just have a spam folder. It seems these guys have got me good... they spoof there e-mail addres and the only place I know its the same database is the headers show that IP address

Well, you could send email to the abuse@ address for who owns that IP address. Failing that, you could report them to the RBL (but that's like using a nuclear weapon to rid your dog of fleas).

If your using Outlook, you can put add them to the junk senders list. Any email they send you will automatically go into the Deleted Items folder.

no it will not, since it not. Since the sender masks his address.

Yes it will. Outlook doesn't know that its spoofed. It looks in the from field and see's host@domain.com and deletes it. It doesn't do a reverse DNS lookup on all incoming mail to ensure that its actually coming from that domain.

If it doesn't work for some reason, then create a rule for the spoofed addresses. Tell the rule to automatically delete any emails with "host@domain.com" in the From field.
