Tools --> Message Rules --> Blocked Senders List --> Add --> sales@--------------------------- --> OK


I've heard of using Spam control, but the one my friends use only works with Outlook and not Outlook Express.

In outlook you have to make filters. You can filter out certain words or combinations of words in the subject or body of the messages.

Not exactly,

or rather, it doesn't work. Worth a ---- actually. I tried that, and all it does is change the font color of the subject line... even the function the automatically moves the email doesn't work. I had to break down and buy a copy of an anti-spam program, and the only ones i've found require the full version of Outlook.

I have been using an opensource program called SpamBayes with my Outlook 2003 client at work for a couple of years and LOVE it. The plugin doesn't work with OE, but their is a way to use it without the plugin...

I use OE but my IP is really good at filter ---- out. Only type of spam I get is those damn "I'd like to buy your...I will send your a check for 1 millions dollars and then send me the remainder.... Besides that I don't get anyother ----.
