Gmail spam filter and Nigerian 419 emails.
This is oddest thing. Gmail has consistantly caught all spam sent to me, except spam of one type: Nigerian 419 schemes. I don’t know why, but no matter how often I report them, I still get them. It’s annoying. I’m not going to fall for a scam from PRINCESS ASETU MUSA; neither should Gmail’s spam filters, despite the TWELVE MILLION THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND US DOLLARS they speak of over and over again. Gah!

You type truth!
August 7th, 2006 at 7:33 amMay I suggest getting a hold of a Watchguard Firebox Edge Router, and switch your Gmail ” client” to a program that downloads email as opposed to a web based version - That should get rid of the problem.
But then again - Perhaps 390 bucks plus an annual fee of 65 dollars isn’t worth catching a few “spa-mails”, and some personal information on your computer… :)
In short - Bitch to Google they are nice folks, I’m certain they will help you.
