Dealing with email spam
Anyone who has email must deal with spam. I initially tried setting up my own filters on my email, but now the spammers send emails so short, that there is little filter on. However, it is obviously spam (the subject doesn’t match the body for example). But when I tried Spam Assassin, I wanted the rejected emails to go to a spam folder, and using POP3, it was hard to find.
With Spam Assassin, you adjust how conservative the spam filter is by adjusting the setting from 1 to 10. But to see if I am filtering emails I want, I didn’t want to jump right into deleting them. Spam Assassin will move them to a spam folder. All I had to do then, was find a way to look at the spam folder. I did this using Horde. The very thing that makes Horde “busier” than SquirrelMail or Round Cube was all of the input folders. At Indichosts, you log into cPanel, webmail, and get your choice of the three to look at your email. Though I use Mozilla/Thunderbird on a daily basis, I now log in to Horde occasionally to check for spam. If not for the easy access to the spam folder, I liked the simple clean Round Cube for remote email access.
