If you have an e-mail address, you have more than likely found spam in your inbox at some point in time. Spam is what you would refer to as unwanted e-mail and there are a few ways in which you can keep it out of your inbox.

In Outlook Express, one of the ways in which you can prevent spam is to use the block senders feature. You have the option of blocking individual e-mail addresses. However, sometimes a much more efficient approach is to block an entire domain.

You can do this within Outlook Express by clicking the Tools menu, pointing to Message Rules, and clicking Block Senders List. From the Message Rules dialog box, make sure the Block Senders tab is selected and click the Add button. From the Add Sender dialog box, type in the domain name. You can then choose what you want blocked: mail messages, news messages, or both. Click OK. Click Ok to close the Message Rules dialog box. Now when a message from the domain is sent to you, Outlook Express will automatically delete the message. And you are one step closer to being spam free, although keep in mind that this method can only block POP accounts.
