I just had a brain storm :eyebrownod:
How many of you guys use Microsoft Outlook, for your e-mail? Microsoft Outlook, NOT Outlook Express.

Well, I was wondering about sharing our "Blocked Senders" lists.
You know how when the mail comes in you have the option to add the sender to the blocked list automatically with a right click, and you use that for spam etc.

In the Junk Mail Options, under the "Blocked Senders" tab there's an option to export your list to a text file. We could attach our lists as an attachment to a post here and let those interested add it to theirs. Adding someone else's list would be as easy as using the import button (which right next to the export button)

I've been getting a lot of junk mail with no subject no text and no from address. I'm wondering if it's spammers testing the delivery. I've been manually adding the senders address by pulling it off the mail headers.

Anyway...I just switched from Outlook Express to Outlook, a few weeks ago, so my list isn't real big yet. But it's attached if anyone wants it, and I'd like to encourage those who have one to attach yours for others to add to theirs.

I use Gmail and I like it a lot.  The spam filter on it works great.  For some reason I am on every male enhancement list on the internet.   :biggrin:  I bet I get 50-100 junk emails a day.    :nono:

Semp, that is because you keep talking about the little pekker all the time.

I use Outlook Express & only get a few junkers each day. 5 at the most I would say. Now my G-Mail acc't,, which I really like,, gets around 250/day. I'm as popular with the male enhancement & the little blue pill people as Semp is!!  :roflmao: :roflmao:

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:  @ AL! Thats ridiculously hilarious!! I almost spit a perfectly good piece of cake all over the keyboard!!  :roflmao: :roflmao:

Spam also comes from ordering legitimate things online. Some folks want your money & they want to sell your email.  :rolleye:

Jim, When I opened your spam list this is what I got.
Is this what it is supposed to look like?

Well if you don't have Microsoft Outlook, I'm sure it did look funky. It's not an article or anything that we can read unless we access it via Microsoft Outlook.
It's made to import with Microsoft Outlook as described above. :wink:
