I get spam on hotmail. But i just choose to block the email address. Only problem is sometimes they will change the email address to stop this&#33;

Search for "Postal INSPECTOR OE" on Kazaa. It incorporates itself into Outlook Express while many of the other filter programs (eg.mailwasher) run separately. Its pretty good at catching all the spam and you can upgrade the filters daily.
