Hi Rodney, You could install and use spamfighter, just download from the link I give you below and install then it will take care of most if not all spam that you get. The spam mails go into a separate folder in Outlook Express called Spamfighter and if you want you can check through it from time to time just to be sure that no important stuff gets dropped in there. If a spam email gets into your inbox then press the application key onit and choose "Block" to have that mail and any future mails from that sort moved into the spamfighter folder. Here is the link; http://www.spamfighter.com/functions/download.asp Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rodney McManus Sent: 02 August 2012 12:44 To: Vip student list Subject: [vip_students] spam hi Im getting a lot of spam when i go into outlook express when checking my e mails is there a way of stopping this? any help much appreciated.. thanks. rodney -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
