Not really anything in OE can filter them all out. If you set up a list of approved
senders, and the sender isn't on it, that can discard spam for you if you set up
rules that way. That is the only sure way to keep all spam out, but if one of your
senders machines gets infected, it will get through also. No 100% sure way to be
spam free forever that I have found.. :-(
The only thing that can help, is to use a webmail address for everything other than
using an email address that only approved people (private etc) on your list will
be using. I only get maybe 2 or 3 junk emails on my personal accts in a year. Never
use the opt out option on junk emails either. You confirm your existance to them.
It won't stop it. It will just make it worse, and they will tell everyone else
that you exist.
For everything else, I use a WEB Mail account that has a database of spam senders
that are blocked, or can readliy identify most spam and funnel it to a spam box.
You still have to check that box for emails that you want, and then it should put
those on an approved list, but that will be about as good as you can get for dealing
with SPAM in my experience.
Others may have idea's too, but there is info all over the net with suggestions for
handling spam.
