SpamBox is way too much fun

[brian5678]

I got SpamBox enabled and it is way to much fun to look at the Spam Assassian point total report attached to the top of each spam email.

Like any game, I currently have a current high score of 38.5 spam points.

If you are curious, here is what a report looks like


Spam detection software, running on the system "boxXXX.bluehost.com", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email. If you have any questions, see
the administrator of that system for details.

I got SpamBox enabled [...]

How did you do that? On my SA page there's no "enable SpamBox"
button, and when I called tech support about a year ago, they said
it was currently disabled ... :confused:

Thanks ..

It's in cpanel under "Email Manager". Just select spamassasin and the spambox enable button is there.

[muni]

Hmmm .. I went to that screen, there are 3 buttons - "Enable Spam Assassin",
"Disable Spam Assassin" and "Disable Spam Box", but the "Enable Spam Box " is
just text, no button thete . Guess I'll have to call supprtt to enable that
button ...

ok, contacted support and they enabled that Spam Box for me .

Thanks ..

WOW, I came to the forums today to find away to stop bulkmail and easily came aong this I was so tired of receiving bulk mail and to make it worse its always the same 3 or 4 emails with a different name in the sublect line but same stupid smiley face and they all have different email addresses domain is even different I tried the filter that didnt work at all but this thing after checking the stat tonight a coupl hrs later it stopped it. Thank you for your spam assassin post heh heh

[Fisherking]

Ok like others I'm getting tired of my emails being spam.......

I hit enable spam assassin and I got this message:
Spam Assassin is currently: enabled

Spam Box is currently: disabled

Is this going to help?

Thanks,

Nigelman:cool:

Thats what mine has and it is working for me i completely dont know why it says that the spam box is currently disabled maybe i have to enable it on all addresses but i also went to the spam box option in the email manager and enabled it on a few of my main addresses and when i go back into the spam box manager and review my logs i can see all of those emails that come into my box that say hi james hi james hi james hi james.........d@mn i am happpy those emails are now gone

I am scared to death to use a Spam Filter since I may miss an order ($$$) coming to me from online. I get about 400 Spam emails a day and would love to filter them. Any advice on how to do this without missing orders?

[redsox9]

Hi, Kentj:

If you use Outlook or Outlook Express to read your incoming mail, you can set up rules so that those from people in your address book, those that have specific subjects, etc. can be flagged and/or highlighted in other colors. On my home account, which was originally a business account, I have the same problem with the bulk of the mail I get each day being spam, and doing that has made it easy to spot any mail that accidently ends up in my spam box.

I also use Norton Antispam (part of the Internet Security package) to weed out spam and 99% of the time it does a great job. I highly recommend it!

[jamesd116]

hmmmm well i had to take off the spam box stupid thing filtered everything that came through does any one know how to use this without having to not receive my regular emails.

[Allan Gabston-Howell]

its always the same 3 or 4 emails with a different name in the sublect line but same stupid smiley face and they all have different email addresses domain is even different

In addition to header forging and domain spoofing, these things always seem to come from exploited windoze machines--the majority of which are probably residential machines with broadband connectivity.

When I received that kind of garbage, it almost invariably led back to some consumer who didn't know their windoze machine was owned and sporting a SPAM relay.

A quick and easy way to enable Spam box:

1. Log into your Bluehost cPanel and go to Email manager.
2. Your web location should end with this "/frontend/bluehost/mail/email.html"
3. Simply delete "email.html" and replace with "addspambox.html"
4. Hit enter to go to that page and spambox will be enabled.
