Unwanted e-mail has been arriving every day. So last night I finally clicked "help' for Outlook Express. I looked up "block, " found "blocking senders and domain" and followed the easy instructions. The procedure seems to have worked.

Most of the unwanted e-mail has been advertisements for the expensive sex drugs. I now suspect the big, pharmaceutical companies are likely behind this. They have plenty to gain from the sales.

I get those too. They go straight into the bulk mail folder thankfully. Mine come mainly from foreign countries.

Blocking some of the mail appears to be working. Of course, now I feel missed and a little lonely.

I can activate blocking on BellSouth's servers and block entire domains. yes!

I had to block a domain that kept sending me spam about some "trip I signed up for". I don't sign up for that crap, so either they were lying or my wife signed me up for something, which she shouldn't be doing anymore now that she has her own email address.
