I have had an increasing problem with junk and porn email getting past our Postini junk mail account and I am hoping I have finally solved my problems with it. This afternoon I have not received any porn email, so something I have done has definitely improved the situation. Here's what I did.
We have Microsoft Outlook...the most recent edition. Each junk/porn email that came in I adding to my blocked senders list, but the problem just persisted. So I went into my blocked sender's list and deleted all the sender's information to the left of the @ sign so all that was left was the @ sign and the domain name from where it came from. I only did this to domain names I did not recognize and knew that no one I know sends from those. This has greatly reduced and I hope nearly eliminated the junk/porn email I was receiving. The real test will be tomorrow morning...that's when I routinely get 25 to 50 of them. Every time I brought in email during the day I'd get one or two, but this afternoon after several hours I do not have any!
