| | Re: blocking email Thank you. There are also options listed like not to download the message , etc. I don't even want to know if this person is sending emails. Is delete still the best option to choose? "Dave" wrote: Quote: > Tools - Rules - Mail rules > New > 1. [x] Where the From line contains people > 2.

| | Re: blocking email For cases like this, I have set my rule to delete the message from server and it works very well. I never know the message has been sent. I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

| | Re: blocking email Cal Bear 66. I've been doing just that, but now I'm beginning to get repeats through. I even copy exactly how the sender prints, (Usually Bogus Banks) but it has stopped working. Not that I am ever going to reply to them but it is annoying. Any Ideas?

| | Re: blocking email Blocking spam is very difficult. If you use the sending address, they never use the same (or even real) address. If you use words in the content, they use HTML and the rule only works with plain text. It seems the best (semi effective) rule is to use frequently used words in the Subject. Perhaps third party spam blockers can be more effective, but I have never used them, and there is the possibility that they are not at all compatible with Windows Mail.
