Outlook Express and unwanted emails

[Guest]

I noticed some promotion campaigns for a certain stock ticker. I received
over 11 emails about the same thing - ticker CWTD.
Of course I know you can go to Message and Block Sender... (click ok twice)
But, that or reporting as Spam is not good enough - my mom is a baby-boomer
- bottom line - fix it - for she feels that I am the cause.

So... Is there another way perhaps with Norton and AntiSpam Configuring?
Are these emails coming from the same source?

No way for us to know, but probably. If you have Norton's antispam stuff,
try playing with its settings. Or get another antispam product.

That said:
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.

A good website for information on OE is:

Once the spammers got hold of your email address, there is no way of
stopping them. It will get bigger and bigger, until you get a new email
address and keep it SAFE.

There are many anti-spam products, and your ISP may also enable spam
filters.
