(I am going to cross post this to the ms windows forum, mswindows-forum/outlook-users-getting-tons-spam-solution-t94451.html, as this issue may be solved in either spot. I hope this is ok.)

One of my client's websites is getting tons of spam. They are using outlook. I have no spam filtering on the server, and they have not spam filtering on their windows machines.

What solution would you recommend?

My personal choice is to give them each a gmail account, and have it "send as" their .com address, and then have their .com address forward to their "hidden" gmail. The reason I quote "hidden" is because some email clients will show the gmail account, but most will not.

Let's keep the replies in one thread so nobody is left wondering where the reply they read 5 minutes ago went to.
