Tools - Accounts - News - Properties -General and then add nospam somewhere in your email address e.g. If you aren't using OE someone else will have to help you out. I personally don't use my proper email address at all but I'm sure the no spam thing will work as well. Hope this helps Nadene |

If your address is already out there, since you have been posting it, there isn't a lot you can do at this point. Also, you're a blueyonder user like me. They were subject to a dictionary attack back in May which means that pretty much all the account numbers are on spam lists now. I get a lot of spam that is addressed to a long list of blueyonder user IDs, which I assume is the result. We use popfile (http://popfile.sourceforge.net/), which is free and pretty easy to use. Its filtering about 99% of the spam now, however it does need watching to begin with and you may need to create some rules to top it making classifying your friends as spam. It will flag what it thinks is spam with [spam] and you can set up a rule on your mail client to dump these into a folder for perusal/deletion later.
