I have found that most of spammers IP's are fake.

We are fighting an endless battle at work at the moment with attached PDFs containing StockMarket info.
The weird thing is that they are named after the user i.e. username-invoice.pdf
I have stopped exchange server from relaying (i think) but it just gets worse.
TrendMicro can block attachments with certain names that you setup but it sends a email to the user everytime it blocks one. Its just as bad as the original spam message. I have disabled notification but they still get through (the messages)

I have to say, I disapprove of your username. Are you trying to impersonate me?

I'll be forced to ban you in one day unless there's a non-malicious reason for choosing it.

Mike, you should get an avvie like me and SyntaX already have. That way it'd be easier to tell you apart from fakes.

I can't think of any humorous or cool images I'd like to upload, so I'll just have to catch scammers for now.

It's weird to look how many people registered similar usernames to my old one, and my current one. I must have made a lot of people angry.

I run a vb forum, most spam loonies used the same d.o.b, something + 1980, usually untraceable ip & addy, so we blocked all newbies, kept em penned up in the top intro section, until someone verified them and they posted within a week, then delete
Did well on my members numbers though for a while.

Seems like a good idea, I'll see what others (including D.Parker) think.

Have you messaged him?

I think this is a good idea. It would block all the accounts that are for spamming or scamming, or are never used.

I mean, why bother registering on a forum if you never intend to use the account?

There are lurkers out there who don't want to post, but want to read and learn.

[Moonbat]

You can read the forums without registering.

I tried this. When I tried to drag them back into outlook express, the eml files went into a New

Message. Any advice, anyone?

Thanks for replying Coop.
