Junk Mail Problems   Message List

Hi Shawn,

I suddenly have sp am attacking my localnet.com account that looks like
it's being sent only to localnet.com customers. Of course, it's
increasing and coming from more directions. Would you take a look at the
headers of a few and tell me if there's a way I can block them from my
address?

I've reported it to my ISP because other than them having sold their
customer's accounts I can't see how these sp*mmers would have
localnet.com addresses. But of course, I've received nothing so far. I'm
really frustrated because this is my personal account I protect with
vengeance and changing it would be a huge problem.

I was thinking about using Mailwasher to manually bounce each junk mail,
but that wouldn't stop it at the source. It's pretty much a waste of
time, right?

Any suggestions?

Brandy
