Â I use "happymrs" for my hotmail address also. Â I use their blocking system too. Â You should see how many addresses are building up on the blocker. Â They (spammers) change their addresses with every new spam. Â I continue to block and delete them, but it is very annoying, especially as I am a ministers wife. Â I would just die, if someone would find this and I was unable to explain. Â Â :blush: Thanks again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all get it as you can see. I get it in my regular email almost daily. I just keep blocking senders too. My list is getting very long and I am wondering what the limit is, LOL. My hubby doesn't get the spam because he hasn't ordered anything online except from secure sites. I think that must be how they get your email addy, from ordering things at unsecure sites. Kind of like junk mail only sick. I am tired of it too, but don't have an answer either. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we use outlook, not a webmail. Check out filter options at the hotmail website too...and contact the hotmail administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the worst for spam. I have never ever gotten spam on our outlook account. Nope, not once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email I get in the hotmail account is spam, but not the porno kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
