(You usually already have OpenOffice.org 2.4 which comes by default, so this is more like an upgrade procedure)

You add the OpenOffice deb repository as this is not yet available from Ubuntu reps and do a mintUpdate which will quickly tell you what is ready to be updated. Here we go.

Step 1 – Add openoffice.org repository. To do this first open Synaptic Package Manger, Go to Setting>Repositories. Click new which will add new repository at the end of list. Add the following details as shown in screenshot for the new repository entry. Then press ok to save.

add-repository-mint1

Step 2: Open mintUpdate (Menu>Administration>mintUpdate) and click on Refresh, Which will now show all the updates for open office. Click installl updates

Opt out does nothing, and both ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ take you to the same page.

I tried opting out and even the powerful Spam button, some improvement… but no, not a full solution.

So this week when I saw the one more spam email from them, I had enough. I Just decided to put a ban on emails from this domain to my inbox using a simple filter. This is very simple in Gmail. But I’m pretty sure all the other mail providers have the same kind of facilities.

Step 1 – Create a filter

Step 2 – Enter your filter criteria, Make sure to delete ‘From email address’, so the filter is effective. In my case I just said stop anything from this site coming to me. I had enough of them.

Click on test search at the end to see if this working cool and then click ‘Next Step’

Step 3 – Then click Create Filter. Voila you are done. You will never see one more evil email like this. But as the spammers evolve we need to evolve too..
