Computer help...Outlook for XP

[custom]

I have been getting over run with spam from all the emailing I do through trade portals and what not.

The problem is, apparently with the XP Version of Outlook (home version) you cannot block a sender...only label it jusnk mail so it is a different color in your inbox.

I searched online, but the only version that seems to totally block senders is Outlook 03, and I could not download their files.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Are you using Office XP Outlook or is this Outlook Express?

You could try creating a rule?

for outlook express try this:
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Open Outlook Express[/font]

• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Click on Tools[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Scroll down to Message Rules[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Click on Blocked Senders List[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Click Add [/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Fill in the menu asking for the blocked senders email address[/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Click Mail and/or News Messages, whichever applies [/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Click OK[/font]

for outlook, look at this link:

You could also try this, but it may not work or some of the commands may have changed:
