    I'm fortunate that I don't get much spam in my main email account. I use a Yahoo account when ordering stuff online or signing up for stuff. However, there is one company that emails me several messages a day. The email address isn't always the same, but the domain name is. It's always something-or-another@savingsengine.com. I get tired of blocking each of these new email addresses, especially when they're all from the same domain. Is there any way to block "@savingsengine.com" in Outlook Express? Please, no advice about switching to Eudora or some other program. :) Thanks in advance.

    Traj,

    I never could find a way where it worked in Outlook Express. Unfortunately, it looks like you cant block domains. I know that you arent interested in Eurora, but I found its the best at filtering emails by using domains instead of the whole address. Actually, I had the same problem you do. I downloaded Eudora's mail client (free) and use that. It is AWESOME! It has filters that you can setup. I get alot of stuff from -----@korea.com. I just set up a filter blocking all email containing @korea.com. You can also set up filters as far as subjects too. The really good thing is, you can set the filter to block the email at the server and delete it without actually having to download it to your computer (although sometimes they do get past).
