any one any ideas.
i go to actual provider to get rid of the spam but i usually go straight to outlook express.
i suspect a DC has quoted my email address somehwere which i why i am getting so much spam
or is there another reason.
i dont have norton but i do have free AVGwhich is meant to be good isnt it?

i am not replying to the emails, cos you are not meant to are you? just reporting as spam to tiscali homepage.

Go on-line and mark them as spam in your webbased bit (don't know what it's called sorry) - then it will learn

[SlartyBartFast]

We get about 100 every day. I just assumed it was normal (if utterly despicable).

.. best not to use outlook to block spam... open the email directly via the providers website and use the tools provided here.... this will cust off the source of the spam..

By using the outlook method the spam is still going to your mailbox and your PC is filtering... this is messy and has high overhead... is you use the isp's tools (in theory) they will collect results and bulk block dodgy sources automatically..

thing is it has only started happening since last week, i don't know how to block spam through outlook so havebeen going to providers website,i did have a spam blocker in outlook once but got rid of it for some inexplcable reason.
perhaps my norton has expired?
