43543 2002-04-13 04:07:00 Ifr 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.

Protect your email address and don't let it spread all over the net as you surf. If you must use an email address for any reason, set one up at Hotmail and use that. If you don't check it, all the spam is automatically deleted. I reactivate my Hotmail address once every couple of months just to keep it available but never go near it otherwise.

If it's a real problem at the moment, consider changing your present address and only give the new one to trusted persons in your address book.

I get bugger-all spam and don't limit my surfing so something is working for me.

Cheers
