Juanita I use Mailwasher Pro and it stops a lot of spam. It especially stops it from coming into my Outlook Express because I can delete it from Mailwasher before it even gets to OE. However, I have it set up so that lots of spam doesnt even get as far as showing up on my Mailwasher screen now. Depending on my settings, I can either view the spam or or not bother, which of course I would prefer not to. Also, as new stuff comes in, I can report it (with the ease of a tick box) directly to Mailwasher who then adds it to its base for following up and deleting in the normal course. I cant understand why you say it doesnt help at all. I find it very helpful and the support is excellent.

HTH, Bruce ********************************************************* Bruce does this program prevent you from getting spam? I have MailWasher but I don't think it helps at all. I have read on three different sites that when you bounce the messages it only alerets them that your address is for real. Howard doesn't agree but I am inclined to believe it because it is your address that is bouncing not your ISP. Anyone here use PopPeeper. Juanita --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
