I've tried the filters with OE with limited success, an am wondering what
software programs (if any) work well with OE6 that can be set up with little
or no experience. Most of the spam I get is coming from one specific IP
address in Marina Del Rey, Ca. and I've reported it to the appropriate abuse
addresses I have, but still receive email from them. If I could find a
program that would filter out specific IP addresses that would be great,
especially if it was free! (= :

Two good free spam filters:

K9: http://keir.net/k9.html
POPFile: http://popfile.sourceforge.net/

K9 is strictly an antispam filter. POPFile was originally designed to
sort email; but it works well as a spam filter.

Which specific IP address in Marina Del Rey, California? That name
seemed very familiar, so I decided to look it up. No, there is no
"whois" database which matches spam source IP addresses to cities; but,
Marina Del Rey is the home of the organization which ultimately assigns
IP addresses: IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). So I am
curious about the exact IP address. Better yet, show the full headers.
The odds are that you are reading a bogus header line.
