Alex,
Are you sure these e-mails are from the genuine companies? I say this
because I, and I'm sure others on the list get phoney e-mails pretending to
be from banks etc urging you to check your security settings by logging onto
the link within the message.
If you don't use on-line banking or are not a customer of that bank its a
pretty good bet the messages are a hoax. Another way to tell is usually the
poor or dodgy grammar in the message.
I'm afraid you won't block these by blocking the genuine domain names as
they don't come from there.
Sorry, just another drawback of using the web.

Subject: [access-uk] I am having a problem with blocking addresses of
senders of unwanted e-mails which may require me to join the BCAB list
if no-one on this list can help
Hi all,
I am on BT broadband, and sometimes I get messages that are either from
addresses I do not recognise, or messages from legitimate companies such as
Royal Bank of Scotland, which seem to be misdirected and land in my bulk
folder.
When I get such messages, and I want to block them I go to block sender in
my Outlook express version 6 and make sure that I do not just block the
sender but I also block the domain.
However, I seem to continue receiving messages from domains that I have
blocked, and do not know how to solve it.
Someone did say that it was possible to actually block these messages at the
server, but since a message I sent them via this list, I have not received
any information on how this is achieved.
I believe that someone did also say that a solution to my problem, or to a
similar problem had been found by someone in BCAB, and if this is true, and
non BCAB members can still join the BCAB list, I would appreciate it if
someone could send me the joining details please,either via this list, or
if they prefer, off list to alexacts2v4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you all in advance for any help on this problem.
