I recently posted a question for help at the Messenger
newsgroup board and since then I have been receiving 50+
emails a day with some variation of Microsoft as the
sender. I'm pretty sure these are not legitimate emails
and haven't opened any of them. Each is over 125k. How do
I stop this? Thanks for any help.

Thanks. As you can tell I'm pretty computer illiterate
and it didn't even occur to me to use an alias for this
kind of thing. I guess it's time to change my email
address...I HATE SPAM!!! Except the kind that comes in a
can :)
