I don't know how, but one real estate mob consistently find my inbox. Couple of years now. Suffice to say I'm sick of their interstate auction opportunities.
How do I filter these out?
They normally use different agents every time, so "Report Spam" doesn't work.
Lately though the same few names are being used.
Gmail Spam otherwise is pretty damn good. Somehow this one national real estate agent gets through. How?
TIA

I use Mailwasher.
You can set up a filter to automatically delete spam from the server. Works well.
I see the first few lines of all emails on the server which I can easily delete before I open my email program. That way I only download the ones I want.

I'm not familiar with GMail spam features but if you use MS Outlook have you tried using the "block sender" feature each time you get a spam message?
Probably doesn't help with messages received using "web mail" though?

Gmail..
Somehow these real estate agents are smarter than Viagra peddlers.
I could set up exclusion filter easily enough, but the sods keep sending from different addresses.

You can setup rules in Gmail where for example any keyword etc in the title, body or whatever you want can automatically have some action taken - eg trashed etc.

Hi,
I find the GMail filter excellent, I may get 2 junk mails a month if I'm lucky.
It works better than the commercial one used where I worked, and all I do is mark junk mail as spam, and if all GMail users do that, a huge sample base is built up at the mail server to sample against.
BigPond was so bad I ended up forwarding all that mail to GMail to filter. Much cheaper than opting in to the BigPond spam service.
cheers
