have a spam filter which works ok but
I keep getting the same spam message (Viagra)
on my outlook express email

I have highlighted it and then gone to
messages and hit "block message" and
the message is deleted.
Next day I get the same spam.
I get no other spam

Is there something else I can do?

Help would be appreciated

Cheers

Blocked Senders works only on the sending e-mail address which spammers
are constantly changing. A Subject message rule would be a better option.

And never use your real e-mail address when posting to a newsgroup. That
is one of the places spammers harvest addresses from.
