Fw: OT : New domain provider need - with wildcard email forwarding

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never used MS email products - Ive been using Notes since 91.

Jim's suggestion of Gradwell looks like it will fit the bill (logic done
at the forwarding point) - so the emails i dont want never get to me.

I had exactly the same problem. I solved it by installing the McAfee Spam
software for Exchange 2k3. All mail is now delivered to Exchange (Using
POPCon) and is distributed out after virus and spam filtering. IT works
VERY VERY well and is fully configurable.
Since I did that I have moved my domain to Fasthosts and their inbuilt
spam filters work really well and most spam caught in Exchange has already
been tagged by the fasthosts servers. This is very different to the
Eclipse spam filters that never seemed to be effective for me.

Not quite what Im after - that means I still get mail - the sender is a
random address every time from the domain, so that wont directly help

Yes, Gradwell.

When you get fed up receiving spam on an address, you just redirect it
to <blank> and it gets bounced as an invalid address.
