You can block addresses etc

Report it to your ISP. They can block it completely to the MAC address in the offenders computer (harrassment) and take it further legally if need be.

Also try SPAM MATTERS from ACMA - if it Australian source SAPM I believe they can act pronto. Cheers Mobi

Mail Washer is also a help in filtering the $hit before you download it to your machine.
Allows you to blacklist the crap.

My ISP (Westnet) filters out SPAM and emails me a list each day in case i want to retrieve any. Mostly it gets 20 - 40 meaningless total garbage emails from overseas.

Outlook gets a few that slip the net and puts them into junk mail box (i check as it occasionally gets legit mail).

Any that get through both of above, i then make a "rule" on that sender, ISP, wording or whatever to put straight in the delete box when they arrive, or just "block sender" - does the same thing.

Hi

I recently started getting spam and just forward them to reportingspam@submit.spam.acma.gov.au
and they stop pretty quick

I have just been using the rules in outlook to filter my usual mail into folders.
If it turns up and stays in my inbox then it is either junk mail or mail from a new source. A quick scan through and its sorted.....

As you could imagine I get many personally offensive emails go here & report it:

Spam is another problem but the free spam filters work well. In Outlook Express under the mail rules you can set up rules to not download emails from any given address, that sometimes works.
For people who send you viruses knowingly see if you can find software called "Nuke Them", you send it to them & it formats their hard drive for them....
