Due to the explosive growth in the number of complaints about unsolicited e-mail, Internet Direct is seeking ways to help our users fight spam. Ross Rader recently came up with a way to help users quickly filter spam without having to do data entry!

The process is simple, effective in virtually all cases of unsolicited e-mail, will work with any e-mail program that offers simple filters, and does not require extensive maintenance.

First, create a second "IN Box" - Call it "New Mail". Then set up your mail program to filter your e-mail address (or addresses if you have more than one) into a filter that puts all incoming mail that is coming TO your address into "New Mail". All the spam, BCC:, recipient suppressed mail will remain in the "IN Box" - which you can delete at your leisure, all at once.

Other issues to keep in mind

Many users have multiple e-mail IDs, and many are pArcticipants in legitimate lists that make use of "recipient suppressed" headers. You will have to add filters for these lists as well to ensure they do not get overlooked when you delete the unwanted messages in your "IN Box". Your filter for these pArcticular messages may have to take the messages that come FROM a pArcticular address, and place them into the "New Mail" folder, or another folder for each list. Check the headers on your mailing lists when configuring filters for them.
