[RTTY] SPAM` and Viruses -- MailWasher did the job!!!

[Jon Harder]

Bill, W7TI, had just tipped us off to the really great MailWasher program,
and I'm glad I had it up and running well,  just before the _rob.ball  virus
hit.

As a result I was able to preview the message and see what looked to me like
a serious problem in the making.  I just deleted it inside MailWasher before
it had a chance even to hit my Norton checker.

Many thanks, Bill!     I owe you one.    8-}

| One more defense you might want to consider is a program like
| MailWasher.  It allows you to preview your mail BEFORE you download it

| your email address didn't exist.  It has filters you can set to bounce
| mail automatically.  I have noticed a definite reduction in spam.  Cool!
|
| Mailwasher is free if you don't mind a pop-up reminder.  For $20 you can

|
| Get it at:  www.mailwasher.net  I liked it enough to buy it.
