gugarci Premium join:2004-02-25 Bergen Co ·Comcast	[Spam] Spam on my Comcast account dated 12-31-1969 About 2 months ago I started receiving spam in my Comcast account only that looks different from my regular spam. I get about 2-3 emails per day which have no subject, show no sender, and always have a date of 12-31-1969. I opened up one accidentally a while ago and there was nothing there. But I closed it as quickly as I opened it up. The one I opened was not one of earlier emails dated 12-31-1969 either. At the time I opened up that email I had been receiving them for about 1 week. My wife also has a Comcast email account and we share the same desktop and she doesn't get these email. They only come to my Comcast account only. Is there anyway to block these emails??? I can lived with them If I have too. Thanks.

You can try creating a spam filter in Outlook Express or Thunderbird (assuming you are using S.M.T.P./POP with Comcast) that blocks all email coming from 12-31-1969 as the date, since this is a constant (not random) and doesn't change. I also might want to add here that if Comcast allows it, you should send email on port 465 (SSL) and receive email on port 995.

TheWickerMan join:2002-04-09 Enola, PA	reply to gugarci You can also set up filters thru the Comcast web site. I can't remember off the top of my head where that particular setting is, but I set up two of them awhile back. I was getting a lot spam with my email address as part of the subject line, which always seemed to make it past the built-in filters, so I added a rule to send any of those straight to the spam folder. I also set up one to delete anything that comes from a certain person I never want to hear from again.

In my humble opinion, it is better to use email clients off ISP's or email services like gmail because their are more options when it comes to spam filters and or blacklisting -- Specializing in "takes downs" of phishing and advance fee scams Send your Phishing/Advance fee scams to: phish@antihotmail.com »www.phishtank.com »www.fraudwatchers.org »mozilla.com

gugarci Premium join:2004-02-25 Bergen Co 1 edit	reply to gugarci Thanks for the replies. I can always set up additional spam filtering in Thunderbird. However all these emails always go directly to my junk folder already. I'm just getting tired of seeing them every day and wish I could just block them all.

It may not be practical to you, but I have mine set up to only receive emails from certain people, the rest is deleted, course I have other "public" email addy's I use. -- Spare computer cycles can help find answers Find A Cure!

Which is white-Listing which I do also. I block one hundred percent of all email and only allow the legitimate emails to pass through by adding their addresses to a list. My white-list has over twenty five thousand listings so you could imagine the sheer volume of spam and legitimate email that I receive on a daily basis. If you know you are going to get spam, prepare for it and deal with it , so that you don't have spend a lot of time deleteing it. -- Specializing in "takes downs" of phishing and advance fee scams Send your Phishing/Advance fee scams to: phish@antihotmail.com »www.phishtank.com »www.fraudwatchers.org »mozilla.com
