Wa'alaikumsalam,

Afwan ...

Mungkin bisa difilter, cari menu ttg 'create filter' atau 'make filter' di
email software yg dipakai, kemudian pilih 'incoming', pilih 'from:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]', dan terakhir pilih 'delete file'

Semoga ini membantu.

Ngomong2, apakah nggak bisa tulisan berbahasa inggris sama sekali :-(
