Subject: Block spam?

I could have my penis enlarged over a dozen times already (interesting since I don't have such a thing), could have gotten tons and tons of viagra and am the most popular girl to get bigger breasts. In other words: Spam.

I'm getting lots of spam lately and wonder if you guys had any idea left how to stop them.
Mostly in Outlook Express.

I have the spam blocker at my provider's on heavy but I still get at least about 5 spam emails a day in my outlook inbox.

My yahoo email gets spammed out great. They all go to spam right away so I never get to see them.
But I wanna know if you guys have any idea if there is an option in Outlook in which you can block spam.
I looked around but can't see anything about it.

Is there even such an option in Outlook?

[> BTW, I've also found an option at the provider's where you can fill in which words in the title should be counted as spam. I entered lots of spam titles and yet, the still come through (e.g. 'Name suggests this site' or 'My friend suggested you look at this'.). -- CB, 12:26:40 01/16/08 Wed [1]

[> Is this Outlook or Outlook Express? In Outlook 2003 and later it has a built in Spam(Junk Mail) filter. Earlier versions does not have one would have to setup a rule to filter out based on words or email addresses. -- Hope, 14:44:44 01/16/08 Wed [1]

[> [> Not sure which year it's from. It's Outlook Express 6 though. I remember in previous Outlooks I could add words or provider addresses which would be blocked but I can't find this feature anymore. I would throw out OE if it weren't so easy to use and better to maintain. I am not too fond of internet emails and only use them as back up. -- CB, 14:39:53 01/17/08 Thu [1]

[> [> [> [> Outlook Express is basically a stripped down version of Outlook. It's similar, but it's missing a lot of features that Outlook has. I use Outlook at work, and OE at home, and sometimes OE drives me crazy when I'm at home and I realize I can't do something I'm used to doing at work. -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 19:13:53 01/17/08 Thu [1]

[> My cable company (internet provider) requires acceptance of an Outlook Express (you said it is the one causing you trouble) e-mail address to obtain their service. I hated it. I not only did not use it, I uninstalled it from my computer. Inside -- Jeanaz8, 08:39:17 01/17/08 Thu [1]

The cable company does not seemed to have noticed and it has been almost 4 years. I would recommend dumping Outlook Express from your computer and using somthing else such as Yahoo you mentioned. For the short time I used OE a lot of spam came thru although I dumped it for other reasons in addition to the spam.

[> You can buy spam filter software. My laptop came with antivirus/antispam software that was pretty good about catching spam email that my ISP didn't catch. This particular software ran in Outlook Express. I don't use my laptop much, so I can't tell you off the top of my head what the software was, but I know there are lots of different brands that are good. -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 19:19:39 01/17/08 Thu [1]
