You're probably right and this is what I have been doing all along - it is really no big deal since there aren't that many, it's just because the content is so offensive I would have preferred blocking it. Thanks again for your help.

One spammer? If only life were so lovely! The Dog gets upwards of 50 a day. I have been using Mailwasher mailwasher.net which works great. It allows you to actually bounce mail before you download it. The idea being that your email address will look like it is invalid and you will get removed from the mailing lists. However, in my case, I "funnel" several email addresses to my main ISP address where I collect them all. Mailwasher doesn't yet know how to deal with forwarded mail. But I still use Mailwasher to bounce (just for the principle of it) and to preview/delete mail before downloading. big
