Spam!!!!!!

in THE MAIN WALL
About every other day, I'm receiving emails that are completely written in some foreign language. Nothing but unrecognizable symbols. I've set my outlook express message rules to delete them from the server each time I recieve one, but still keep getting them - the "from" name is never the same, which I think is why OE doesn't catch them.

How the heck do you stop these things??????????

    Starch...

    I have been getting unsolicited emails from Russia for months now. Rather than try to stop them I have decided to just learn the language so I can understand what they are saying.

    Lesson No. 1: радиатор = radiator

    Lesson No. 2: термометр = thermometer

    Howzit goin' in Ohio?

    So, there you are, working on an important proposal. Suddenly,out of nowhere, advertising messages begin to pop up on your screen. I recently wrote an article about spam and how you can block some of it from entering your system. You will find it here:

    It's a shame

    Too bad these spammers ruin the name of a perfectly good food group.
