Your spammer has included active links in the email that Eudora
promptly tries to resolve. While perfectly acceptable, it's not
acceptable to you and I. With Outpost it is very easy to fix. You
simply add a rule at the end for Eudora to block all. Since Outpost
doesn't permit a block all without any qualifiers, I simply choose
"outbound" and block all. The rules at the top makes it so Eudora can
do all the mail transport things that it is programmed to do but
anything else is instantly blocked and the user is not asked for what
to do. Click on some bad mail and check your block log to ensure that
your undesirables are being blocked.
My Eudora sits in the partially trusted apps and has only 4 rules, 3
are original, the original NEWS has been removed and the extra is my
block all outbound.
If you are looking for ultra-mega safety you need to disable the
Microsoft Viewer. Tools | Options | Viewing Mail | [ ] Use Microsoft's
Viewer. The Eudora viewer is quite lame--lame is good! If the Eudora
viewer manages to try for a web site then Outpost puts the pooch screw
to the spammers trying to verify valid email addresses.
