Hi group,
I use Outlook Express as my newsreader. I used to read the group and
recently returned. But the Spam!!!! There is so much. Any help on
how to filter out the spam??? Comcast is my ISP and as I stated I use
Outlook Express to download the messages. Cindy
I think most of us have the same problem. This NG is being destroyed by
spam. Senders are changing their names daily in some fashion and
blocking doesn't work, at least for me. Dave Bugg said recently he is
blocking all gmail. I wonder what effect that has had.

It has eliminated a good 90% of the spam, and a bit of additional
filtering has eliminated all but a few per week.

Just add @gmail.com to the "filter by 'From' " category

Simplify. gmail isn't enough? Are you worried about blocking
gmail.net, gmail.org, gmail.tv, gmail.ca, gmail.......well, you get the
picture.
