Is there a way for me to keep certain span email address out of my mail box.
I click their boxes telling them to stop sending me their emails, and they
just keep coming?

Help

Thanks

Don't ever respond to those e-mails that ask you to "unsubscribe" from a
mailing list - all that does is confirm to the spammer that you exist and
hence you will just receive even more e-mails (very simple, very devious).

Your best bet is to look at the Tools > Rules section and make an incoming
mail rule that sends messages from particular e-mail addresses directly to
your Deleted Items folder (you can also set these messages to be marked as
"read" and as "junk" in order to make the process quite seamless).

Another tip, don't post to this or any other newsgroup using your real
e-mail address - that's another way that spammers can grab your e-mail
address. Use a false address, a non-important e-mail account or a spamtrap
method such as the one I use (look at my e-mail address).

HTH,

Ricky
