I used to subscribe to Freeserve, which became Wanadoo UK and
finally, Orange UK. Service deteriorated so several years ago, I
moved to a different ISP.
In those days, the Freeserve / Wanadoo / Orange webmail
interface did offer customer-selectable filtering options. I
have visited the help pages at
http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/su...vice/index.jsp,
in an attempt to check the up to date position. However, access
to the on-line FAQs seems to be restricted to Orange subscribers
(or the site is malfunctioning) - so I don't know whether any of
the options have changed.
In my experience, the Orange SPAM filters used to trigger a lot
of false positives - and missed some very obvious spam. However,
I recall that configuration options included:
a. Adding ***SPAM*** to the subject line. (That was the
default setting - which facilitated subsequent sorting by the
subscriber.)
Alternative options allowed the subscriber to
b. Disable the SPAM filters
c. Retain suspected SPAM messages in a junk mail folder on the
central server - or
d. Delete suspected SPAM at source (a rather dangerous option,
due to the prevalence of false positives).
I hope the OP will be able to access the FAQs - or obtain the
necessary information from his ISP.
