Default Block domain??

There is, now I think about it, something that sort of works, IFF it's
compatible with your e-mailing people. You could set a rule that,
unless the TO or the CC actually contains your address, send it to a
Special Folder you can check later. It has downsides though:
Any mail that was BCC'd to you would be sent to that folder.
If you use multiple addresses at multiple domains it could be tricky.
And probably a few things I haven't thought about. Just don't
auto-delete, so you can check to see if there's any goodmail in there
before you delete them.

Been getting several spam e-mails with "close to the same" address.
I block email then go to Tool-Msg Rules-Block Sender list and modify
(take out everything on left of @).
Now I'm getting spam from "close to same address" on right side of @.
ex: & ,
etc., etc.

Here's my question- instead of leaving everything to the right of the
@ what happens if I block secure.com? And should I leave in the
.com? IOW- will everything that has "secure" in it be blocked or am I
wasting my time.

thanks for any suggestions,


It'll never work because spammers continually change things to avoid
just that sort of thing. Does your ISP have spam control and is it
turned on?

Otherwise you really need a 3rd party program that can use blocklists
on known spammers to tag or delete the mails that are spam.
Usually people just divert tagged mails to a special folder so they
can check it for good mail now and then, and delete the rest. But by
eliminating entire domains and countries, you'll get a LOT less spam
in your inbox. IMO

HTH,
