Is that e-mail really coming from Bill Gates?
Why are I getting bounced messages that
I have never actually sent out?
Can my computer become infected by
downloading my e-mail?
Win.Net's Clay Collier will be covering e-mail.
We all have been receiving virus messages lately. Our In-box is full
of messages we do not wish receiving. We are losing valid mail in a
sea of unwanted SPAM. Michael Tague, President of Win.Net does not
have the answer! He can't stop it all! But, Clay will
fill us in on what is happening from the ISP site of the server
- How do you read an e-mail header?
- Is it worth your time to fight SPAM?
- Does an ISP really block your outgoing mail?
- Will your mail be blocked if someone uses your name?
- Can you send out mail using the bcc: feature?
- Does Win.Net offer its clients a mass-mailing tool?
The problem is that e-mail messages are filling our
in-box. We will take a look at the basics of e-mail messages and how
to read the source code. Can we track down the sender?
If you are not receiving SPAM, you may stay home.
If you have received SPAM or might in the future, this month's
presentation should be interesting.
