Is there a free program I can setup w/ Outlook Express to block spam?  I keep getting tons from the same person/company (all the same ads over and over again)
Is there any good solution to keep this crap out?  It's getting annoying.

Like I said, I'm using OE and my comcast email.

Thanks.

Just get Thunderbird. :p

In all seriousness, though, try unsubscribe links. They do actually work a large chunk of the time. I just went through my Junk box about a week ago hitting them all and the spam I got went down considerably. If the message doesn’t have one, try going to the site being advertised (if there’s a link to such a site.) There may be an Opt-out thing there somewhere, saw that a couple times, too.

If you don't want to pay for one and aren't lazy do it manually by either adding a message rule or add address to the blocked senders list

I tryed the unsubscribe links, doesn't do anything. If anything it gets worse. Spamers disregard the laws their supposed to comply with big time. So the unsubscribe links are a waste of time. Unsubscribing just tells them that the address is active,then they can send more spam. Email addresses are easy to Spoof with the current level of technology.

The unsubscribe link lets them know someone is there, and that is is not a dead account

When I used Outlook, the best spam filter I ever used was Mail Washer Pro.  If you want to go the free route, one of the best is SpamBayes.
