Email spam filters

How often are you on the computer?

How often are you on the computer? Well, if your life resembles mine, and millions of other individuals, then you're probably on the computer a good portion of the day.

It's called work.

So many of us work on a laptop or desktop, doing a variety of tasks for a company or privately owned business.

Then there are those who go to great lengths creating trash that we don't want anything to do with.

Yeah, you know who I'm talking bout and the trash I'm referring to. It's formally known as SPAM.

Did you have any in your inbox this morning? Oh no, wait; let me guess. Yes, you did.

Heck, it's almost unavoidable. Well, that is unless you have a new-age email spam filter.

These can come in handy. Does your laptop, notebook, or desktop have an email spam filter?

Well, chances are if it's a relatively new machine, it has a decent pop-up blocker.

However, the email spam filter is a tad different. It mostly depends on who you have an email account through.

I personally have a hotmail account. Now, I know what you're thinking.

Hotmail hit the cyberspace airwaves and everyone and their dog snatched up a free hotmail account.

This is probably fairly accurate.

We all want free email accounts for one simple reason.

They're free! DUH! In fact, if you don't have a complimentary hotmail account, then you probably have a gmail account through Google.

It is also free of charge. As far as the email spam filter goes, that's a tough one.

With the hotmail account we have something called junkmail.

Therefore when you receive email that is clearly spam, it gets re-directed into the junkmail account.

Now, is this an effective email spam filter? In my opinion, it's not.

I say this because I still have to go in and empty the stupid junkmail box all the time.

This is a hassle. I want an email spam filter that does not let mail through in the first place.

If it comes through the first time, that's not a problem.

But, immediately afterwards I want to be able to label it as SPAM, so that it can never breech my email account walls again.

Doesn't this sound like an ideal email spam filter.

Then we wouldn't have to continuously click UNSUBSCRIBE on the bottom of every email that slips through, only to have them sent back 50 more times. That's a pain!
