EMAIL SPAM FILTERING

GDEX offers advanced Email SPAM filtering that you can use to manage incoming email messages.

Every GDEX email customer has FREE access to our Webmail service from their Web browser.  Webmail is a great way to manage your email from your Web Browser when you're away from the home or office.  You can read mail, delete mail, forward email, and filter email with this easy to use tool.  When you return to your home or office, the email remaining in your Main Webmail area can be downloaded to any PC email software application such as Outlook, Netscape Communicator, or Eudora.

To access your Webmail area, Click on  Webmail from any of the GDEX Web pages or enter  webmail.gdex.net  from your browser.  Signon using your full email address (for example: woody@trusted.net) and enter your assigned password.

You can easily setup processing rules that will remove unwanted SPAM email.  You need to be careful, however, to setup enough processing rules to keep important email messages that may have been sent to you as a member of a distribution list or CC or BCC list.

The first step is to understand that 95% of all spam is NOT addressed directly to valid email account names.  This is a trick that SPAMmers use to hide their identity, and you can use this to your advantage.

Next, you should have a list of all other VALID friends, family, and business associates email names that want to receive.  You don't have to know every identity, but you should know the DOMAIN names that may be sending you email.  For example, you may receive email from various accounts at UCLA.org or from Amazon.com.  Or you may be receiving email from your brother or sister (e.g. betty2001@aol.com).

The following screen-shot is an example of some basic rules that will filter out 95% of all unwanted SPAM email.  You should setup your own rules and re-visit and fine-tune them to meet your specific needs.
