How does one block all incoming email and only allow
those through that I give approval to?? The amount of
spam is driving me crazy!

Thanks
 
Try a program called Mailwasher. It shows the e-mail headers only and gives
you the option to either download the message or delete without loading to
your e-mail. You can 'bounce' the e-mail back to the sender although I doubt
if this works very well as most spammers use fake return addresses. Worth a
look, and it's free

I suggest 2 programs that work in concert with one another. One is PopFile
and the other is Outclass. POPFile uses Bayesian technology to do the
sorting and Outclass allows you to sort stuff into a "spam" folder. You can
find Outclass at www.vargonsoft.com. There are links there to POPfile.
Currently, my set up catches and correctly classifies over 99% of the spam I
receive. This is really great software!
