I like TechNet as it is. It might be possible to adjust the TechNet software to not add people's email address to header. I think individuals can anyway set their own email not to show their full address. Anybody who spams me or I don't want to receive mails from I just right click and add to junk mail list. Our Corporate spam filter takes care of most stuff, but some sneaks through, I don't blame TechNet for that. Everyone's business E-addresses must be known to 1000s of people and who knows what happens to them? So far as Rules are concerned you can set Outlook to filter domains and individual addresses, and there are security levels you can set as well to detect spams, if you set higher make use of the approved senders list in Outlook, the security level is in Outlook Options, I think also in Express, but there is also security stuff in Internet Explorer which can impact Outlook/Express also Your well known spam filter program will have a black and white list or equivalent feature. There are other sorts of programs which you can buy that intercept incoming mails and ask sender to verify they are a person, till that is done the mails are not received.

You took a step aside and looked at the painting from other view. Thanks. By the way, it's little unexpected, but I've had the most spam free period for many months. Can be the result of a well known filtering program that I bought...maybe. I'm also looking for a program, in which you can just copy and paste all TN names that you trust, all others will be locked out. The disadvantage is, that I miss fresh and good contacts. Maybe you can do this in Outlook Express? I've not studied all tool possibilities. Anyone knowing how to create such rules in Outlook? Inge TechNet is the best of many you need not to pay a penny for the wisdom, fun and friendship open, free and good to any Even without Dewey you can find a thruway to the answer you so want TechNet is a speedway This is what I found a Forum rather sound witty-wheezy-woozy furthermore profund Inge ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glidden, Kevin" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2009 4:27 PM Subject: [TN] membership limitations to Technet While I highly value the all-inclusive nature of this forum, it is perhaps an exploitable feature as well. I continuously receive emails from people offering services with whom I have had no previous interactions, and I often assume (perhaps incorrectly?) that our contact information and email addresses are being mined from the forum by those who join simply to generate contact lists. Would limiting Technet membership to those from domains whose companies are IPC members, or requiring entering of an IPC membership number to register destroy the all-inclusive nature, or improve the quality? Does anyone else share these observations?
