I don't know how to do that, I got tons of spam every day, but it's impossible to make any common filters because I can filter good messages too :(

I've been using the filters/rules in Outlook Pro for over five-years, so I am somewhat lucky: all known e-mail addresses (friendly or spammin bastards) go directly to their respective folder/locations (mail from Yahook goes directly to a WEBMASTER folder). I do not simply delete spam that makes it to my inbox: I take the time to add each address to the junk mail filter, as adult or junk.

I have a junk folder and after I download the morning mail, I do a quick visual scan for known subjects, otherwise ctrl-a & shift-delete.

I do not find spam a problem.

Apple´s Mail program has a superb filter, I liked Mozilla Thunderbird´s too (which is available for PC). Just changed programs because MAil is faster in my ´puter.

Bah, dump Lookout Express and look at Mozilla's Thunderbird.
