Hi everyone
Hope you can help. In the last few weeks I've started to get spam emails for all sorts of things - not nasty or offensive, just a nuisance. I use Outlook Express to manage my email and have used the 'Block Sender' option with some success but find other emails coming through with a different sender name but the same domain name e.g. [email protected] and [email protected].
Can I block 'nuisance.com' (not the real name obviously) from getting messages into my Inbox regardless of the prefix?

Ethel has refererred to blocking a domain name in another thread but no details were given as to how.

TIA

just put nuisance.com in the blocked senders list and it will block all from them

Hi ChuckFickens

How do I do that? I can only find an option to 'block sender' when I right click on the sender name which means the domain can change the prefix and still get through.
click on the tools menu, then message rules and blocked senders list.

then click add, type the domain name only (no @ sign or anything before it) click OK a couple of time to close everything and you should have the domain you entered totally blocked now
