best way to deal with spam
im using windows mail and norton. most of it does go into my junk e-mail folder, but i have to scan thru to check nothing i want has sneaked thru. is it best to just delete these items, before they change to 'read' (which they do, even if you dont open the email), or add the senders domain to my blocked senders list. how can i stop this rubbish even getting to my junk file?
