Every time I restart my computer my pop email server for my outlook express accounts gets changed to a weird IP number. I’ve installed and removed a few anti-spam software in the past few days and I think one of them is reconfiguring my email account every time I turn on the computer.

How do I stop this from happening?

When I use Outlook I get a TON of junk mail. I was wondering if there is anyway to get or use a SPam/Junk folder to help filter this out! Please help!!

I am using Otlook Express. Even though I have a spam filter I am sick of the spam that comes daily. I have created a new user name - with the same internet company. I will keep both accounts. I wish to use SWITCH IDENTITY. Can you tell me how I can use the same address book for both accounts? I also would like to move some folders of saved emails to the new identity too.
Help would be appreciated, thanks
It suits me better to stay with my ISP.
I would really like to know how to import the address book and the folders.

I am a novice Linux server admin (I can us SSH, vi, cron, and understand config files), but I am willing to learn. However, I do not have hundreds of hours to research and learn all the ins-and-outs of Linux. I need something fairly turnkey:

What is the best server software that will do all or most of the following:
- POP3 server
- SMTP server
- Webmail server (with good standard features, like WYSIWYG editor, attachments, etc.)
- Web-based end-user configuration tools
- Anti-virus
- Anti-spam (blacklists and whitelists & RBL support required, spam filtering logic a plus)
- Authentication data stored in a database for easy management.
- POP-before-SMTP authentication

Similarly, I need to pick the best Linux OS to run this puppy on. I would like an OS with a wizard install, and one with adequate security for a publicly accessible server.

Last of all, it would be great if all of the above would be freely available for commercial use.

Thanks for your help!

Groupshield 6 is installed on our Comms Svr running Exchange 2000 Standard Edition. This is the ISA Server and the e-mail gateway. This server forwards E-mail to 3 other Exchange Servers at three separate geographical sites within the local domain. I have spent hours trying to get the best out of the Spam Killer plug in to Groupshield but it is still letting huge amounts of SPAM through (it is trapping a lot also). Im not certain if I need to install additional copies of groupshield on each of our other three exchange servers in the separate OU’s but I have a feeling Groupshield and SPAM killer only work on the gateway server?

Any advice? Maybe there is better Anti SPAM software? A lot of SPAM is being caught but mostly its the Viagra and Penis Enlargement (!) type and not other sorts offering fake watches, business opportunities etc! I can import a blacklist.txt file but im not sure of the layout nor where to download a decent one from. Im hoping there is a web site one!

Hi everyone,
I think it started after I installed anti-spam software. I have the same e-mail doubled - one is normal, and another is “empty”.

It floods my mail and eventually I get “overquota” message.

Does anybody know why I get them doubled, and what to do to stop it???
Thanks guys !!!! I really honestly appreciate your help.
