Continuing tricks concerning mail spam.

What if you keep getting spam from the same network, and want it to stop? See the specific story below.

Log in to cpanel
Follow link to E-mail filtering
Click on Add Filter
Choose From in the first drop down box
And the second drop down box is already set to contains
Enter vm-mail.com in the text field
The next line already has Discard entered.
Click on Activate

That should do it…

OK, here’s the story:

Because of a friend’s virus, I got subscribed to a lot of CAN-SPAM compliant spam lists (the so called opt in lists). Most of them had working unsubscription links, and I was able to get off many of the lists.

But I got enough mail from addresses on vm-mail.com to irritate me. And couldn’t find a way to unsubscribe, even after trying various things (I never confirm that I read their messages, until I actually unsubscribe, if I trust them enough to do that).

So I was looking to filter them out. Since they always use the vm-mail domain, that should be possible. Right now I’m waiting to see if my block is effective.
