How 2 block spam messages?
« on: February 09, 2005, 03:39:00 PM »
Hello,

I am getting a lot of messages from several indivuduals promoting a new eMule client. Is there anyway of blocking this stuff with IP filtering? I have tried pasting an IP number into the appropriate field on the Security page of the Preferences notebook, but it doesn't take effect.

TIA

Ezeltje,

Try Preferences->Message Filter.

Cheers!

I don't see that option.

Let me guess: You are using rc8 (or something older)?

Message filtering wasn't present in rc8 but it is in current CVS. So you can either compiler a CVS tarball yourself or wait for 2.0.0 final...
