| | Re: Outlook Express I would be using something other than Outlook Express in Vista. If your OS is different then post to the appropriate group - like the Outlook Express group. Windows Live Mail is the equivalent of Outlook Express for Vista. Replying to the spammer just confirms your email is a real address, and propagates the problem. It's also likely they're using a fake email address so you won't reach the actual person. Finally since spam is more than likely sent out by an automatic process rather than an actual person the request to stop spamming won't reach them.... To help combat the problem, you can set up rules in OE - block senders, or use an internet security product with an anti-spam component. A free tool you could use is Mailwasher (www.mailwasher.net) It's a comprehensive application for eliminating spam. There's also a 'pro' version for a small payment ($30 NZD or something around that) One last suggestion, your ISP should or might have anti-spam tools on their mail server, so the spam should be eliminated before you download it. Using a combination of the tools mentioned above, I cut down my spam receipt from around 90 spam emails a day; now a days it's about 10 or less, a day, and that's from using the same primary email address for at least 15 years with the same ISP.
