FIY - OT - How to block SPAM in Outlook Express

Sorry, I've had enough, perhaps you have too...Just FYI for us using OE. I'm
sure we are all getting tired of MI5 cr@p and from others. Ignoring and
blocking their posts is the best defense.

In OE6: Tools / Message Rules / News
Select New

1. Select Conditions for your Rule
check where Subject Lines contain Specific Words <or>
Where the From Line contains People

2. Check Delete it

3. Rule Description (check on the underlined in this box and fill in the
word or name to be blocked.

4. Name of Rule (type a unique name for this rule)

Click OK, now to Apply the Rule, you must apply the rule for it to work!

You should be looking at the Message Rules box
Select the rule you just created
Click Apply now button, bring up Apply News Rules Now dialogue

Select Rule to apply

IMPORTANT - you must select the top folder of the NG server if you want to
apply this rule and be applicable for all sub-folders! ex:

Apply to folder: select Browse button, select (news.yourserver.net or the
top folder in this hierarchy), click the OK button.

Make sure Include Subfolders is checked. Click Apply Now button.

Done! now the SPAM you blocked will automatically be deleted before you have
to see it! Repeat the above procedures to apply more rules to OE7 for News
and Mail too.

If someone can post similar fixes in this thread for other NG readers it's
appreciated.
