Sspam has become intolerable. Everyday I find up to one hundred messages I
have to delete. Would changing my E-MAil address help. If somn how do I do
it? Disgusted
 
If you set up your mail reader to treat everything as spam. You will
quickly learn you can get email from anyone you want when you learn how to
filter in people.

Your contacts should always pass. Anyone you send mail to should pass.

If you give someone a keyword along with your email address they will be
highlighted and can be separated from spam.

Anyone passing with your keyword should also always pass in the future.

This gets everyone. With a few minor changes OE could do this
automatically.
 
You can usually set up about 8-10 rules on incoming emails and I find that
takes care of about 95% of all spam mail.
Also NEVER reply to a spam mail at the bottom of the page where is says
"REMOVE ME", that is usually a confirmation that your email is active.
And...especially in places like this or any other forum, you need to "Munge"
your email address so that the automatic email readers do not pick it up,
like in your case change it to @NOSPAMworldnet.att.net and most people will
still figure out how to send you email, but the automatic email readers will
not.

EXACTLY what are these 8 - 10 rules? I want to use them
and get rid of about 95% of all my spam.
