Blocking unwanted mail.

[Allan]

I am using Outlook Express 6 (I can't find a group for
that). Anyway, I have set up many filters to block
unwanted emails containing Viagra, Xanax, Vicodin etc but
the emails still continue to get through to my inbox. I
have sucessfully blocked all emails with attachments but I
still continue to get too many junk/unwanted email
messages. I use Express 6 for my business and it's
annoying to have to delete all the junk before I read my
important mail. Please help.

Thanks,
Allan.

Hi - check out SpamBayes for one option (google it).
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.
