Stopping unwanted e-mail

[tinwindow]

Hey Guys.....
A friend asked me how she could stop the XXXXXX rated stuff that gets sent via e-mail.
She forwarded me one and it is very RAW..
It is an advertisement that some sicko uses to get other sickos to there site and i assume pay for more of this disgusting stuff.....( don't ask to see it ! )
Does any one know how to end something like this that was not provoked to begin with ???
I suggested e-mail msn.com but I am sure someone here is more willing to help me help her......Thanks

Ive used a Yahoo email acct to preserve my primary mailbox for 5 years now, it has a "bulk mail" feature that collects all that xxx etc stuff and is easily eliminated, most mail programs have filters associated with them now...

I like to report the SPAMMERS! I feel great satisfaction when I receive an e-mail that so-and-so lost their ISP account or web host account because of spamming http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

To report SPAMMERS, right click on the message, select properties, Details, and then Message Source. Right click on the message, click on Select All, click on Copy, and then go to SpamCop: http://spamcop.net/nosend.shtml

Paste the message into the box and click on Process Spam. While it is processing the data, go back to Outlook Express, click on New Mail, right click in the message box and paste the full Spam message there. Go back to SpamCop and highlite the E-mail addresses that are provided, and copy them into the address bar. Add "system abuse report" into the subject, add a few lines to the message stating you are reporting Spam and to find the complete message with complete header information, etc, etc.

Sooner or later, these sorry so & so's will run out of ISPs and web based e-mail to send their garbage from!

If she uses Outlook Express there are settings that will kick out certain words.

I set up my Mom's pewter so it would reject such mail.

There are options on the que words as to the "subject matter" and "content"

Can't rembember exactly where and how, and this machine don't have OE on it for me to explore..
just dig in..
