Never send uninvited e-mail to large numbers of strangers. (Such e-mail is known as "spam"). In particular, do not send commercial advertisements, surveys, chain mail or questionnaires to anyone who has not given you their permission to do so.  Junk e-mail wastes both system resources and the time of those who receive it, and recipients may contact your system administrator with complaints. Below are instructions for blocking unsolicited e-mails on your machine.

Outlook

To add a sender to Outlook's Junk Senders list:

1. In Inbox, click any message from a specific sender you don't want to continue to see.
2. Select the Actions menu.
3. Point to Junk e-mail
4. Click Add to Junk Senders list.

All messages from this sender will now be sent to the Junk Senders list. You can delete them from there or set up your Outlook to automatically delete this folder in the future.

Eudora

To set up a filter to automatically file messages or delete them immediately:

1. In the in-box, click any message you don't want to continue to receive.
2. From the Special menu, choose Make Filter.
3. If you want things to happen automatically when you send and receive messages, uncheck the manual box.
4. Select the From, Any Recipient or Subject and make any changes to the selection needed.
5. To make sure that you have the filter working, you might want to transfer the messages to a new mailbox. After you are sure the filter is working correctly, you can ask Eudora to delete the messages if needed.

All messages from the specified sender or with the specified subject will be filed or deleted.

Note: For the Subject filter, the subject line of a future message would need to contain what you have defined, but it would not need to exactly equal it.

Outlook Express

You can only block messages from a particular sender or domain in Outlook Express. You cannot filter by subject content. To set this up:

1. Selext a message you want to block from your in-box .
2. From the Message menu, choose Block Sender.

Notes:
* Blocking a sender will only work if you are using POP. It will not be effective for HTTP mail or IMAP messages.
* To remove a name from the Blocked Senders list, from the Tools menu, select Message Rules, and then click Blocked Senders list.
