I've just completed a preliminary automatic spam removal program.
Essentially, it scans through a pop mailbox, deleting email not addressed to
a specific mail address. Nothing there that can't be done with Outlook
Express but it's a neat little preliminary program. I'd love people's
comments if they care to try it. By the way, it will delete BCCd mail. Not
sure about CCd mail.
Eventually, it'll be expanded to record spammer I/Ps using a cyclical
database (if the IP's there for more than a month then it gets deleted as
spammie will have changed his I/P address by then). There'll be a few other
things involved too but I'd like comments on the project so far.
The program is available on www.sageworld.freeserve.co.uk under the free
programs tab.

Is there a method to turn off deletion of BCC'd mail?
I often do new version email shots to my customers with their addresses as
BCC'd so that they don't see each others addresses but still a single email
can be sent so this would not be good.

No. BCC is supposed to be blocked. Spammers use BCC. It sounds very much as
though what you're sending is spam (well, spam by my definition anyway).

BCC is perfect.
Or i'm sending a mass email to my mates, and rather than it showing up
everyone's address, it only shows their own. That way if they foolishly
foward my email on, it doesn't end up like so many forwards you see with
hundreds and hundreds of email addresses in it.
I find BCC quite useful...

Ah. Then perhaps you should have my mass mailing program which sends
individual emails - no cc or bcc fields. You can specifiy it's from whatever
email address you desire. You do, however, need the active-x components from
Delphi3 Pro to make it work. I could make it independent by using TSAKSMTP
but as i really only wrote it for personal mass-mailing...

Is there a way I can tell from the contents of an email I receive that it
was generated by your program?

Well, the current version has an identifiable signature but since I'm the
only person using it and I use it only to spam employment agencies with my
resume, not a lot of point in knowing it. Having said that, if I do release
a mass-mailing program, it'll be specifically designed so that it's unusable
by spammers. IE: It'll only send emails to people listed in Windows Address
Book.

Maybe you should wander down and have a chat with these people. Might get
you further than an impersonal mass mailing of your resume.
