Default How to deal with Gibberish, strange e-mials?

Hi:
For the past several days, I started receiving strange, gibberish e-mails
which I neither contacted nor
responseded. It occurs almost every day, ... some day, even two, gibberish
e-mails.

It's easy to say, ... just 'delete' them, all, however one major concern is
that one of e-mails stated regarding
credit card that of course, I can NOT read because of either, foreign
language or gibberish e-mails.

My question is now, ...
How to deal with those, strange and gibberish e-mails, all of which appears
to be an exact same person
who is e-mailing me?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Check the message source. (Ctrl+F3). If it /is/ the same address always,
create a message rule to Delete it from server and you'll never see it in
your Inbox again.

Hi Bruce Hagen:
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

Today, there is NO strange and gibberish e-mail in my 'in-box' that is VERY
relief, because for the past
several days, I was harrassed by them.

What I did is as follows;
After Ctrl + F3,
Tools Message Rules Mail Blocked Senders
and put check-marked on 'Mail,'

Since there is NO 'send-back to the sender,' I did it, above.

However, is it a correct/right way to block any un-wanted e-mails?

Thanks ALWAYS,

Blocked Senders only diverts mail to the Deleted Items folder. With a Delete
It From Server message rule, it will never be downloaded, period. See the
message rule links I provided.

You do not want to bounce back e-mail. If it is from a spammer, the address
is usually munged and a bounce feature would only result in an endless loop
of bounced messages and Postmaster e-mail to you that it was undeliverable.

Chances are that you have weathered the storm for now and /may/ be free from
this spammer
