Default Junk mail is horrendous

I would change their email address to something like:


The username should be generated randomly so that spammers can't
generate all possible addresses.

Also, instruct them not to subscribe to any free Newsletters or buy
online from irreputable vendors!

I have been in this discussion group before regarding the same subject.
However, I really need to get some type of solution to the problem we are
having with junk mail. I posted before that I set my parents up with OE.
Just last week, they received 1500 pieces of junk mail. Now, that is totally
unacceptable. I did, as suggested, set up a filter using the address book
method, but really now. All of this junk mail just goes into their deleted
file which still needs to be perused. I took a look at some of this junk
mail, and it is very strange, at least to my untrained eye. The entire block
of spam was in alphabetical order and it covered every subject under the sun.
Now, please tell me there is a reason and that it can be fixed.

Thank you very much!
