    Spammer!!!

    A particular spammer regularly spamming me in below order.
    1) From is always random letters like......rjnwpo
    2) His address is always letters again and always changing domain names made out of random letters too ([email protected])
    3) Content is always changing links and HTML like below;
    l61e1m <a href="http://fbrjalcrtoqa.com/">fbrjalcrtoqa</a>, =http://qefzkcwvgloz.com/]qefzkcwvgloz[/,[link=http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/]hkprmusiltnw[/link], http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    I tried changing my SPAM levels in my Control Panel of my Domain Server but made no difference.

    Could you please PERHAPS make up a particular filter to avoid this SPAMMER as I have no knowledge to set a filter of this kind.

    Thank you.

    PS : I even changed our email address last night, but would you believe I received SPAM this morning again.

    Google's Gmail has an excellent SPAM filter.

    Brief instructions:
    1. Get a Gmail account, (it's free). http://www.Gmail.com
    2. Setup Gmail up to retrieve your email from your existing email account (from your ISP).
    3. Still in Gmail, enable POP3 access.
    4. Point your normal email client (such as Outlook) to download email from Gmail instead of from your ISP.
      (Note that you can leave your SMTP setup as is ... so that you're still sending email out through your normal ISP account).
    What you have now is the exact same email, being filtered by Gmail, for free.

    Detailed instructions, with screenshots (pics), here:

    Ahhhh...what a fantastic idea!!! I shall certainly try it.
    By the way can you recommend any Free Form Mail with some "human input"?
    I love the one we have in this forum...I think when you go to search option one needs to put certain info into the form.
    Thank you again.

    Yes I am talking about Captcha, also there is vast amount of "Form Mail" in google. I was wondering if any tried and tested ones may be recommended by one of our forum members.
    Thank you again.

    Just a note here. I just use the spam filter, by clicking the appropiate button, that is provided by checking my email on line.

    hmmm--I use Comcast (which you probably do not have in Turkey ). They offer an excellent free spam filter, but you have to ask for it to be activated. Maybe your email service provider or ISP does the same.
    If you would consider a third party program, many people like MailWasher. There is a free version.

    Unfortunately we haven't got Comcast here. My Domain Server is icdsoft.com. Fantastic service but I am afraid Spam Filter is not very sophisticated.
    I was absolutely amazed that I got spam from the same person a day after I changed my email address even. How do they do it.....I have no idea.....
    That why I was thinking of using some sort of a Mail Form which has Captcha!!!
    Anyway, for the time being I have taken the advice of SpywareDr and set up the Gmail account and filtering. See how it goes.
    Thank you to everyone for your suggestions.

    Some spammers use auto addressing, so check the properties of one and see how many folks are listed. They seem to blanket every possible name.
