1111647 2010-06-19 23:30:00 HI All.

XP Home. OE latest.

I know how to block sender but how exactly in short words do I block aol.com? Thanks PJ

1111648 2010-06-20 00:19:00 Try this:-

•Select Tools | Message Rules | Blocked Senders List... from the menu in Outlook Express.
•Click Add....
•Type the domain you want to block.
•Finally, click OK.

You need to just put aol.com in the list.

That will not block messages you still have to download them. All that happens is they will go into the deleted items instead of you Unbox

Just delete any spam that comes in and don't get paranoid about it.

Thats what we do now. Just exploring other avenues & trying to learn. PJ

I have three Gmail addresses that I use for specific purposes & get no spam thro them when re-directed to OE. All stopped by Gmail.

aol & hotmail are my current spam prividers. Have blocked aol & will wait to see what happens next. PJ
