Suggestions: 1) NEVER open these emails, especially if they are from other than a microsoft.com address - and that is no guarantee, as the sending address can be spoofed. 2) NEVER use the "opt out" links included in these emails. All that does is validate to the sender that your email address is valid, and they will send you even more. 3) Invest in a "spam-blocker" software program; there are many reasonably good ones out there, and they are often free or at least low priced. Personally, I have been using "iHateSpam", and it works quite well (cost is about $15 ??). Good Luck!

Hi group, approx 2 weeks ago I saw that my mailbox for my AccessD-list mail was full. I then saw that I had only a 'couple' (100+) e-mails in it. I checked my Bulk folder and it was full with 'microsoft' updates. They all came from e-mail like: qweerejkks at yahoo.com 2q323312 at yahoo.com etc. I receive these mails every day. They keep comming in until my mailbox is completely full. I tried blocking the mailadresses, but since they change every day that didn't work. I tried blocking the 'domain' www.yahoo.com, that also didn't work. I tried to unsubscribe from the mails, no info about that in the mails I checked my Microsoft account, Yahoo account for any subscriptions and i canceled them all. Result? The mails keep coming in! How do I get rid of these mails? TIA!! Sander __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
