Block Sender List

[Guest]

My Block Sender List is full. When I try to delete addresses, they come
right back and I continue to receive the message that my Block Sender List
is full. McAfee shows that I am virus-free. Any suggestions?

For fighting SPAM ? - forget trying to block senders, it's like trying
to push back the ocean tides. If that is your issue, I'd suggest a new
email address - perhaps two. One a "Private" for family and close
friends ( except the ones that like to send the daily joke/cartoon) &
a 2nd email that's more public. Use the public one until it gets on the
Spammers list and then change it. Otherwise, you'll spend the rest
of your computer life trying to contain SPAM and it can't be done.

Try blocking domains instead. For example, if you receive spam from
[email protected] and [email protected], you can just block
spamcenter.com. This will only use one address instead of two.

I use this email address which is an alias and I post to a number of
newsgroups. It was my intention to change it if necessary but I have been
using it for quite a few years - I receive an average of 100 spams a day and
so far I haven't felt the need to change it.

By the way if you use an ISP which does the blocking for you then the spam
can be blocked using a filter and directed to a folder (Bulk - Yahoo) and
then they can be inspected to check that they are all, in fact, "spam".

I only use Block senders for people who are known to me who I don't want to
hear from ie if they are seriously bothering me. I also don't read emails
from people who I don't want to hear from. You just have to ignore them. I
know many people can't do that - I do.
