| | Lately I'm getting Russian mail every day how do I stop it I have never ever looked at anything in Russia, but I have a Russian friend, that probably had his address book compromised, and my email address was in there. I picked to block the sender, declined to get any mail from Russia, whatever I can think of, nothing stops this mail. How can I stop it. I'm using AVG protection, and of course are using Windows Vista Home Premium. Any help is appreciated......Peter |

| | Re: Lately I'm getting Russian mail every day how do I stop it Does the Subject field contain Cyrillic characters? Find a few that are obviously common and then add them, (copy/paste), one at a time to a Subject message rule that deletes it from the server. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "pmaston" <pmaston@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:EA6B0DB7-F0E5-4829-B96C-399DF0A90CEE@xxxxxx Quote: >I have never ever looked at anything in Russia, but I have a Russian >friend, that probably had his address book compromised, and my email >address was in there.

| | Re: Lately I'm getting Russian mail every day how do I stop it Thank you Bruce, None of the Cyrillic characters, all I ever see, Postmaster returned stuff, not actually anything written to me other then notices from Daemon postmaster or something like that. I'm sorry I didn't mention it before. It looks like my computer didn't except it, and then told the sender about it, kind of stupid I think, but that reminds me of the early days with email protectors, they did that as well. Any help is appreciated Bruce......Peter I deleted all of them a few minutes ago, otherwise I would have an accurate description "Bruce Hagen" <Nospam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OyYyAh4mIHA.748@xxxxxx Quote: > Does the Subject field contain Cyrillic characters?

| | Re: Lately I'm getting Russian mail every day how do I stop it There is nothing you can do. The virus spoofs your email address, then the recipient servers send a delivery notification failure to your address. I got slammed with several hundred on one email address a few days ago. steve "pmaston" <pmaston@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:146CC7A7-FFE2-4798-AD95-1B3015B52534@xxxxxx Quote: > Thank you Bruce, None of the Cyrillic characters, all I ever see, > Postmaster > returned stuff, not actually anything written to me other then notices > from > Daemon postmaster or something like that.
