EMAIL SPAM FILTERING
GDEX Trusted Net offers advanced
Email SPAM filtering that you can use to manage incoming email messages.
Every GDEX Trusted Net email customer
has FREE access to our Webmail service from their Web browser. Webmail
is a great way to manage your email from your Web Browser when you're away from
the home or office. You can read mail, delete mail, forward email, and
filter email with this easy to use tool. When you return to your home
or office, the email remaining in your Main Webmail area can be downloaded
to any PC email software application such as Outlook, Netscape Communicator,
or Eudora.
To access your Webmail area, Click
on Webmail from any of the GDEX
Trusted Net Web pages or enter webmail.gdex.net from your
browser. Signon using your full email address (for example: woody@trusted.net)
and enter your assigned password.
You can easily setup processing
rules that will remove unwanted SPAM email. You need to be careful,
however, to setup enough processing rules to keep important email messages
that may have been sent to you as a member of a distribution list or CC
or BCC list.
The first step is to understand
that 95% of all spam is NOT addressed directly to valid email account names.
This is a trick that SPAMmers use to hide their identity, and you can use
this to your advantage.
Next, you should have a list
of all other VALID friends, family, and business associates email names
that want to receive. You don't have to know every identity, but
you should know the DOMAIN names that may be sending you email. For
example, you may receive email from various accounts at UCLA.org or from
Amazon.com. Or you may be receiving email from your brother or sister
(e.g. betty2001@aol.com).
The following screen-shot
is an example of some basic rules that will filter out 95% of all unwanted
SPAM email. You should setup your own rules and re-visit and fine-tune
them to meet your specific needs.
