SNIP I have filters set up, and have added a bunch of new ones. Unfortunately, I can't seem to block the messages; just delete them. So I still have to download them. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I have Netscape 4.72. There is a button relating to the server, but it appears to be dead, so I may have something corrupt in my copy of Netscape. Back to the drawing board . . . . Ginger-lyn Have you tried Email Remover, it was written in 1988 so should work with just about any version of windows. I don't remeber where I downloaded it but it's only 459KB so it doesn't take long even with a dial-up connection. -- Adrian A House Is Not A Home, Without A Cat. |

I had a couple of hundred of them yesterday, the worst day by far I have had. Most of them were undelivered return mail. Earthlink's "Spaminator" can be set to weed out e-mails from anyone not in your address book, and put them in a "Suspect E-mail" file. That way you don't have to download them to your computer, but you still have to keep deleting them from Web Mail, since they're still counted in your 10KB allowance until you do. (At 143KB every couple of minutes, it doesn't take long before e-mails you want to receive start getting bounced back to the sender because your mail box is full.) I wonder how much longer this is going to go on? I know my computer is virus free, and none have gotten into my In-Box since I reset Spaminator, so I'm not getting them from any of my regular correspondents, but I'm still getting several hundred a day. |

Another newsgroup (a Finnish catgroup) suggested a program called Spamihilator.
