Offensive junk email

[Brian]

I keep getting junk email that I find very offensive and pornographic. Is
there some way that I can prevent this stuff from getting onto my computer?

The first way is not to post your real email address on usenet.

And use a good spam-filter soloution like the free one: Spamassassin.

Hi Brian,

If you have Outlook 2003, you can block the specific sender's address of
the offensive e-mail. Just right-click on the message, then click on the
Junk E-mail listing, then click on "Add Sender to Blocked Sender's List."
You can also click on Tools, Options, then click on the Junk E-mail button
under the Preferences tab. There you can adjust the settings for the level
of junk e-mail protection you want to prevent further offensive e-mail from
other senders.

Hope this helps!

Only ways I know of are-
A. block the addresses as you recieve them,
or
B. Set up a firewall
or
C. - Set upp mail assistant to auto delete any emails with
certain content.
Good luck!!!
