I started getting spam e-mail last week entitled "Talk Show Trip". I use Mailwasher so I put the first several "from" addresses in my "Blacklist. This didn't stop them because the sender rotates originating URLs with each e-mail. They use two "@" endings with the part before the "@" being changed witeach one. The two endings in the e-mails are "@ityam.com and "@thusthe.com". Oops, I just checked and there is a new one. It is "@idlyrod.com". By the first part of the originating address being constantly changed I don't know of a way to block them. Does anybody else?

I'm getting more and more spam leaking through. Sometimes I send them an offer to buy an ad, and one guys actually did and now we're friends.

Glad it worked out for you fishead...But Bobby is right , these spammers are becoming more an more aggressive at getting through... Sorry bobby, I don't know what to do either....

Bobby, look for what's consistant. In your case it looks like the subject line is always the same so go with that

rb2d2 · Sep 25, 2004

OK. Looking again at your screen shots I see that the subject line does change a bit. So use the major words such as ... "part, talk and show" or set up several of the Subject lines and set the filter to ANY of the rules.

Let me know when you have your filter set up and I will send you an email with the subject line " Be a part of a talk show" and see if it gets caught.

I added the above message rules in Outlook Express AND the shown edit filters in MW.

rb2d2 · Sep 25, 2004

I sent four emails to you using each of those subject lines.

I just changed the filter rule to "When any rule below is satisfied" instead of "When all of the rules below are satisfied".
