Eudora and Spamnix

Eliminates about 98.9% of them.

I hate spam. It is nothing but a waste of my time every time I have to look at this stuff. My johnson is big enuff already :huh:

i get tons of them too.stock info.
if you've ever typed your email address in public. like on here.. or like your website ron you'll get them.. thats all public.
just look how many yahoo slurp spiders are on here right now.. searching for stuff. there's probably millions of e-mail seeking thingys{insert nerd name here} doing the same thing..:huh:

yeppers
 
if you'd like to manually block them yourself that is...

you highlight the message
hit message up top
and block sender

or you can select message
message rules
and create some new rules

like when the message "subject"
says the keyword
it gets auto deleted

Google's gmail is very good at filtering junk email.

It's also considered by many to be the best web-based email.

The best search features, tons of storage, free POP3 access (this isn't that uncommon anymore), and more.

Mozilla Thunderbird works well for me.I get no junk.I also use a yahoo address for most of my email correspondence.My ISP address is for only the most important stuff.

I highlight them and hit the report as spam button! This will block them!

Also you have to delete your Temp files & Cookies, thuis is how alot remember who you are.

Lastly the thing that helps the most is to get rid of all your Ad aware!! They have free Ad Aware programs for download.

go to downloads.com and in the search type ad aware, down load and run often.

They are a pain but I don't think hitting the delete is all that hard or time consuming and to me is the easiest.
