Hi Luis, I don't get what I'm supposed to do exactly

My main email I've used and like is - surf@hollisterbay.com

I've added that to my Gmail account and made it also the "default" reply from address

There are many options in the Gmail Mail Settings panel and I'm not sure exactly what else I need to do now, and then what I have to change in my mail clients like Outlook to start making them all work nicely again

Thanks in advance

read this carefully. It should give you some idea about how to do it. Its an old article but still should be good.

Hmm, you mentioned it's hosted, they don't have spam filtering service? They've gotta have something. Do you have any control over the systems?

Is all this spam designated for you or maybe it was just for your new IP address and your mail server is accepting them anyways.

forward some of them as an attachment to jmail@kerin-fazio.com :D Testing my exchange server and I can at least forward them to cloudmark and other sites which helps block them anyways.

The Gmail option wont really work if they are sending it directly to your email, You'd need to have them be sending emails to your "fake" email address then have Google forward non-spam to your "real" address.

You have to forward your e-mail account from the webmail account. You don't have to setup anything on gmail. Use the webmail client from the account you want to forward. Maybe there's some sort of control panel from your provider where you can so that. Contact them if you don't find it.
