Sure can - this is from my ISP's tech tips page:


Use the following instructions to block a sender in Outlook Express 5.

- In your Inbox, highlight the message from the sender you want to
block.
- From the "Message" menu, choose the "Block sender" command.
Click "Yes"

You can also filter out junk mail that contains commonly used words
and phrases like "lose weight" or "buy now" in the subject line by
creating message rules.


Use the following instructions to filter messages in Outlook Express
5:

- From the Tools menu, choose Message Rules and then choose Mail. If
you have already specified a Message Rule, the Message Rules dialog
box appears. If this is your first time specifying Message Rules, the
New Mail Rule dialog box appears.
- Select the conditions for your rule. In this case you would select
"Where the subject line contains specific words" option.
- Select the action you want Outlook Express to perform. In this case
you would select "Delete it."
- Click the underlined text in the Rule Description area to specify
more details on your choices. This allows you to input the junk mail
phrases you want Outlook to screen.
- Click "Add", then "OK"
- Type a name for the Message Rule and then hit "OK".

That would mean you're using Outlook Express.
Unfortunately, I don't know how the filters on Outlook are
set up. Can someone who uses OE help him out?
