Crisis on the Russian Front! Endless Cyrillic Spam...

[Sammy]

They have not accessed your address book. Entourage temporarliy caches the
addresses of recent correspondents.

In Entourage X and 2004 there is an option in the preferences to clear this
address Cache (Mail & News prefs; Compose tab). You can also (in the same
place) turn off the display of these addresses (but still keep the Œauto
complete¹ of names in your address book).

In both Entourage v9 and in vX individual items can be removed by adding an
entry to the address book that EXACTLY matches the rogue entry in the
history list and then deleting it.

In entourage 2004, hitting the 'junk' button in the toolbar will remove the
address of that message from the cache as well.


Alternatively, just wait a few days/weeks. The remembered addresses are
prioritised by age & frequency and the list is limited to a maximum of 200,
so eventually your mistakes will fall out at the bottom.

How long does it take the junk button to delete those addresses from the
cache? Because I'd labeled all of those as "junk" already.


What am I doing wrong? If I could just set up mail blocking seznam.cz,
I'd be happy. If it says it's from seznam.cz and I have a rule blocking
email from "contains" seznam.cz and "ends with seznam.cz", how is it
still getting through?

Pouring through...

What am I doing wrong? If I could just set up mail blocking seznam.cz,
I'd be happy. If it says it's from seznam.cz and I have a rule blocking
email from "contains" seznam.cz and "ends with seznam.cz", how is it
still getting through?

Please send me one of those messages as an attachment off-list.

Start a new mail message and drag the russian spam from the folder listing
to the new message window.

Send to barry at em vee pee ess dot org

I'll take a look at it and see what I can dream up.
