Hi Cajun,
there are some filtering programs availible.

I wrote an article a couple of years ago for Linda's All 'Bout Computers on=
 filters and rules.
http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc2/v13/mike13.htm
Some instructions for setting up filters:
from the Win 98SE Outlook Express 6 Help files:

To create a rule for e-mail messages:

1.  On the Tools menu, point to Message Rules, and then click Mail.=
  Message rules cannot be created for IMAP or HTTP e-mail accounts.  

2.  If this is the first rule you are creating, proceed to step 3.=
 Otherwise, on the Mail Rules tab, click New and proceed to step 4.

3.  Select the conditions for your rule by selecting the desired check=
 boxes in the Conditions section. (You must select at least one condition.)=
  You can specify multiple conditions for a single rule by selecting more=
 than one check box. Click the and hyperlink in the Rule Description=
 section to specify whether all of the rule conditions must be met before=
 the specified action occurs (and), or whether at least one must be met=
 (or).

4.  Specify the actions for your rule by selecting the desired check boxes=
 in the Actions section. (You must select at least one condition.)

5.  Click the underlined hyperlinks in the Rule Description section to=
 specify the conditions or actions for your rule.  You can click contains=
 people or contains specific words in the Rule Description section to=
 specify the people or words you'd like Outlook Express to look for in=
 messages. If you enter multiple people or multiple words per condition,=
 use the Options button in the Select People or Type Specific Words dialog=
 boxes to further customize the condition.

6.  In the Name of the rule text box, select the default name or type a new=
 name for your rule, and then click OK.
++ There is more on the web site.

Is there any way of adding a bulk list of spammers to Outlook Express' spam
