Using Outlook 2002. I continue to get the same e-mail.... a zillion times.
Each time I get the e-mail its shows a different sender. No sense in Blocking
the sender; ...and that wouldn't stop it since the sender name changes. I
guess someon'e(s) Outlook e-mail address book was accessed...and I was in
them...and so this same message continues to be received. Is there a way to
Block the message?

You mean spam? Get a spam filter, and you will never see the message
again. Or ask your employer (or ISP) to activate spam filtering on the
mail servers.

Thanks.... I am using a Spam Filter....and it is set at the default level.
To move it higher will mean that its possible that some personal e-mails may
be blocked. The problem is, the same e-mail keeps coming, BUT, it comes from
a different sender/address each time....so I can mark the message to BLOCK
the sender e-mails, but that won't help because the next time the same e-mail
comes in sent by a different sender.

Build a rule based on the content of the message which you seem to be
implying doesn't change?

f.h.

That's why I suggested to use a spam filter. You seem to use some rules
that block 'From:' addresses, which will *never* work. 'From:' and
'Reply-to:' addresses in spam are always forged, and they were not sent
"from" that address.

A good spam filter will identify the message as spam, irrespective of
the 'From:' address.

Many people find http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ works well.

I personally use Cloudmark Desktop (http://cloudmark.com/desktop/); it's
not free, but it catches near 100% spam, with near 0% false positives.

I went with creating Outlook Rules. I have created about 5 or 6 Rules based
on the Spam e-mails. The problem is, the Spam e-mails the Rule is Catching
is going into the Folder I specified....3 times. Its not a new E-mail, its
the same one because all is the same including the date and time. After I go
out for new messages I look at the Folder I specified that the Rule Spam
e-mails should move....and I see several Spam e-mail in the Folder, and as I
wrote, 3 times. I don't see any of the rules I created having duplicate
Specified words so I don't understand why the Spam e-mails are going into the
Specified folder...3 times. Thoughts? I realize I can elect to Delete these
messages but felt it best to monitor them for awhile to be sure the rules
were not catching Non-Spam E-mails.

I'd make sure each of the rules has the 'and stop processing more rules'
action, just to be sure, because it really sounds like either:

a) You're getting 3 copies of the message.
b) You're getting 3 copies of every message which I doubt, since you'd
probably have mentioned
c) There really are three rules that are applicable to the messages, so
you're getting each rule acting against the message.
