Because of the virus going around from 9/18 to current I have had a lot of
e-mails that did not get thru. If you sent me an e-mail in that timeframe
and have not gotten a response I apologize and ask you to try again.

Thanks,

I had to completely re-write my email filters.
Got rid of about 90% of it, more as I "tweek" them.

can you explain how to do that.

Which browser do you use: Netscape, IE, or ?

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?

Sure....

Click on 'tools,' 'message rules,' click the mail (or 'news,' to set similar
rules for the news client) tab and set up your rules there. You can set
parameters for the sender, the subject and the recipient. You then have
twelve different actions to choose from if the post meets the criteria. The
'options' button allows you to further modify the rule.

FWIW; so far I've got a dozen senders, at least that many subject lines and
even more recipients listed to block this mess. Between all that, AND
BellSouths 'MailGuard' feature--which belatedly set up a spam-block on many
of the criteria I used (presumably)--I'm still getting several a day.

It'll die down soon...I hope.

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".
