<p>On Hands-On Tech, Mikah helps Lars, who is seeking help for a friend who is being flooded with spam emails and is looking for a way to filter out the spam emails!</p><ul> <li>Mikah strongly recommends transitioning away from ISP-provided email addresses, as they often get shuffled between companies and can face service disruptions</li> <li>There are also some options to consider when moving from an old email account, such as setting up auto-responses directing to the new address or configuring your new email account to pull from your old account.</li> <li>Mikah suggests two things to do. The first is to create a Gmail account to leverage its excellent spam filtering capabilities, then configure it to pull mail from the Cox address and connect it to Outlook.</li> <li>The second option is to use local spam filtering software like Mailwasher, which offers Bayesian filtering that learns from user input to improve spam detection over time.</li> <li>Other software options to consider are Spambully, Spamfighter, and clean.io, though some may not work without MX record access.</li></ul> <p>Read the official <a href="https://twit.tv/posts/tech/hands-tech-goes-back-club-twit" target="_blank">blog post</a> about the change to Hands-On Tech.</p> <p>Send in your questions for Mikah to answer! hot@twit.tv</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mikah-sargent">Mikah Sargent</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to <em>Hands-On Tech</em> at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/hands-on-tech">https://twit.tv/shows/hands-on-tech</a></p> <p>Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at <a href="https://twit.tv/clubtwit" rel="payment">https://twit.tv/clubtwit</a></p>
