| | Create rule for message I have tried to create a rule to block messages that have certain words in them but nothing seems to stop these spam messages. Please help. How do you block them? I have tried to block the sends, their domains and the specific words but nothing seems to work. -- Joe |

You may have to change to a different email program to be able to use more flexible rules for blocking messages. I haven't tried Windows Live Mail, but at least it's easy to move over your saved messages from Windows Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview |
