48962	2002-05-15 06:06:00	1.Months ago I changed to Xtra as Voyager was no longer available. But the Voyager address is still forwarded (along with a heap of Junk mail) to the new Xtra address. I can't find out when and what happens when Voyager stop forwarding but I'm hoping that the junk mail will stop at the same time. 2. In my dial up window I more than one ISP to dial. (still have a freebie)How can I make Xtra the top one so I don't have to select it all the time?	Guest (0)

This should stop the junk you're getting provided of course that they were sent directly to your Voyager addy. To make Xtra your default dialer then open IE. Click on >Tools>Internet Options>Connections. Click on Xtra then set as default. If you are no longer using free ISP then go to My Computer>Dialup Networking>then delete dialers not used. sam m	Guest (0)

Give that a try. In regards to junk mail, if you use Outlook Express have a read of the following. If you are using Outlook Express you can set up rules, one of them is Delete from Server. Highlight the offending message, Click on Message - Create Rule From Message - that will open a box with three windows, the first window is ticked by default Where The Sender Is - go to the second window and tick Delete from Server - now the fun begins, in the third window is the senders address. If the address is yahoo, xtra, mailcity, or any other common web based mail, then just Ok the rule. If the address ends in something such as grouplotto.com or adultmail.com, then you can create a additional rule to further block mail from that site even if they change the first part of the address from freecar to freemoney. Place your mouse over the address, single right click the address, that will bring up a extra window, in the ADD line type in the address from and including the @, so for example type in @grouplotto.com and that will block other messages from that site as well. If you were to apply this to addresses for sites ending in yahoo for example, then you would also block all good senders from yahoo as well.	Guest (0)
