    Damn Spam

    HELP... I am so sick of all this d**n Spam. I have tried everything I can, I think, to curb it. Is there anything new that I can try? These dirty B's are ruining a good thing

    so I made your horn louder."

    You can switch to a mail service that filters the spam out at the server end.

    I check mine online first which gives me the option of reporting the spam. After about the 3 day, the amount started dropping.

    After the online check, then if I want I can open OE and get what I left up there. Been a big help in controlling that mess.

    Try this:

    It might not solve your problem, but it will make life harder for spammers.

    I go to my providers homepage, click the EMAIL button.
    Log in and when the page opens up, I can check my email and I have lots of options that I can chose to use. One of those options is to report selected emails as spam. They are reported and then dumped into the trash folder. So, I then empty the trash folder. End of those items coming end until they modify something.

    Try that, might help your situation. Hope that is available, but I did have to get cleared so I can check my email from anywhere though.

    Don't count on the government's CAN SPAM law. Historically stuff like this has done more to promote the thing it was intended to destroy. Your tax $ at work.
