Yes, I have that one too. I'm not quite sure why they do it, but it sure helps to identify a lot of it. > I don't bother trying to eliminate spam by senders address Same here. It never did me any good, except for a variety of spammers who spammed me CC'd to many of the same people who I didn't know. If I blocked out messages to those recipients, it worked. > except in one > case where I keep getting mail from one particular user. I may one day try > to report him to his ISP. Yes, I had the same problem, though I couldn't block by sender. They were all in the same format and appeared to be linking to the same kind of sites. Since the person was using a personal SMTP server, I couldn't track an ISP to report it to. I just e-mailed the domain hoster (Tucows) who seems to have shut him down...my e-mails actually worked for once! (even though repeated e-mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] don't do a whole lot). I don't really get much if any junk mail since this guy disappeared about a week ago, so I'm not worrying about it so much - I only got about 5/month max. before. At least the EarthLink Spaminator caught most of his so it never reached my mailbox. -- Mickey Stevens (Microsoft MVP for Office:mac) PowerPoint FAQ featuring PowerPoint:mac: <http://www.pptfaq.com/> The Entourage Help Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
