I didn't receive any of your e-mails.  But I had the options checked to send those e-mails with the selected "Subjects"  to my MW Blacklist, delete and bounce.  None of them showed up in my Blacklist or as bounced.  I wonder where they went?

This may not be of great help to you, but I have Earthlink and every single sender that is not on my address list gets a message like this:

"I apologize for this automatic reply to your email.

To control spam, I now allow incoming messages only from senders I
have approved beforehand."

That is when they are suspicious emails. This can be annoying when I receive from people who have a new addy, but I get a spam summary at the end of each day (this can be customized to once per week or once per month or whatever you like) and am able to review it and if there is someone that I want to receive from I simply add the person to my addybook.

I can obviously choose to turn this feature off if I want.


When it's obvious spam it goes to the spamfolder that my webmail has (all this is controlled from my webmail which is connected to my POP3 mail!) and I can review that too and see if there is anything that I don't consider spam. I can also add any addresses to the spamlist and have them going directly to the spamfolder. ALL this takes place BEFORE it reaches Mailwasher! So, in mailwasher I receive very little crap. Most is taken by my ISP.

This is what it looks like:

Sounds good, Spider.  I think Roadrunner has something like that too.  You can set up email filters on their home page but I haven't done anything with that.  I'm sure when the day comes and I start to get spam I'll be over there digging around in the filters too.

Bobby if you have MW set to delete the messages than that's what happened to them  However, I haven't gotten any of them back yet.
