| | Spam Filtering My main security suite (Kapersky 7) has a spam filtering facility. When it detects incoming mail from an unknown (hence untrusted) sender it pops up and asks me what to do, so it knows who I regard as good guys and bad guys. But, there's always a but, it only works on POP3 mail not on things like Hotmail and Gmail - and you can guess where 99,9% of my spam comes from. I quite like having spam filtering happening at the front gate rather than at the front door. I think K7 can put mail from bad guys straight into the bit bucket - i.e. no junk mail folders. I don't want to move the function out to my ISP (they also can only do anything about POP3 accounts) or to the HotMail and Gmail hosts because I would have to maintain 3 systems. Does anyone know of any products that will monitor incoming mail from POP3, Hotmail, Gmail and presumably other web based mail systems, e.g. Yahoo; at the front gate and that wont interfere with the smooth operation of WLM or K7. I don't want to write filters in WLM because IMO that's too late, the stuff is in and its on a disk - whereas the a front gate filter looks at sender details before mail is fetched from server. |
