Hi -- No the unblocking doesn't work for emails.
If your spam is blocked by your ISP then it is done on the server before it
ever gets to you.
I personally never use spam filtering, either from my ISP or on my mailer.
The reason is that when I did a few years back, when I had a ridiculously
bad spam problem, I ended up sifting through the filtered messages anyway to
be sure nothing important got clobbered, and so if I have to do that anyway,
why filter at all?
But now that I've dumped that account and gotten a new one, I have had very
little problem with spam, mainly because I have learned (after that
experience) not to share my email indiscriminantly, and also if you get a
spam, never reply to it, even to unsubscribe, as that only tells them they
have a live reader and will result in more spam.
It has paid off -- I've had this account for almost 18 months now with very
little spam.
But I'll have to try unblocking web pages as I've discovered aa page that I
can't connect to.
Question: what happens to a web page that has been blocked? Does it just say
"server not found"? or does it give a different message?
I have asked my ISP about this site and they have connected to it with no
problem, as does everyone else I know, so I know it's on my machine.
I recently installed SP2.
Also, my ISP says it is not in their blocked domain list.
So is it on the security tab of the internet options? or is it a different
tab?
Thanks and good luck.

I'm wondering, the other day i had to use it for the first time to alllow a webpage. Now, my question is can it be used to add email addresses as well, so some spam filter along the way doesn't block it. I don't think my isp uuses a spam blocer unless i set it up but maybe they have it hidden, so to make sure i'm getting all my mail is that one way to do it? I'm using outlook expree also.
thanks
