John, all you can do is add more filters to OE so it does not even download unwanted e-mail or, better yet, deletes it from server. In OE click TOOLS>Message Rules>MAIL and enter some key words that might be present in the subject line of an offensive spam. Refusing to accept e-mail from the sender doesn't help much because these people change e-mail addresses. For myself, I have a public yahoo e-mail address that attracts spam [which Yahoo tries to put in a bulk mail folder]. Then I have a private address. Sometime the best solution is to change e-mail addresses and be very cautious about whom you give it to, but have another one for public use. There are some spam killer programs, but I have not tried any. Gottfried
