Default Batch Blocking Spammers?

Anyone know a way with OE6 to block more than one incoming email address at
a time?

Thanks in advance!

Message rules. You may prefer an anti-spam program

You can't do that with OE. That said, using Blocked Senders to block
spammers is basically a waste of time since they are constantly changing
their munged address. Message Rules have their limits, but you would have
better luck filtering in your mail.

Hi John
See if your ISP provides a spam blocker as part of their service - most do
now - and it should be free.

Hi John
Sorry to hear that - I would complain like hell to them - especially if I
was paying for this service.

I get more than 200 just about every day. It only takes a couple minutes to
delete them.
