Get advanced junk mail protection with MSN 8. > http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail > Hi it is called 'block senders'. there is some software (no don't ask i do not have it) that enables you to send email's to blocks of people ie: everyone whos name starts with [EMAIL PROTECTED] or aXXXXXXXXXX@ hotmail.com.
Thats the explanation i recieved from my isp when i asked about it. never seen the software myself. I use outlook to filter everything that it sent from the lists into files and then everyhing else that does not have a sender in my addressbook goes into a junk folder. This means that one quick look in the junk folder finds any needed mail and the rest gets trashed. vicki -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
