Don't know what type of email program you're using but Outlook Express allows message rule creation (filter). The one filter that I've found to pretty much eliminate most junk email was to reject any emails not SPECIFICALLY addressed to me. A lot easier than creating "white lists" or "black lists", the other 2 alternatives that I'm aware of. Just be sure to update if email addresses are added or eliminated. I didn't initially when I switched from BellSouth.net to Comcast.net & 'lost' the 1st 2 msgs from Comcast.net.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Here's the explanation of how to create the msg rule allowing only those msgs specifically addressed to you:
1. Open Outlook Express
2. Go to Tools
3. Select Message Rules
4. Then select Mail ("New Mail Rule" window should pop up)
5. In the "1. Select the ..." pane scroll down to the "Where the To or CC line contains people" & check the box.
6. Then go to the "2. Select the ..." pane scroll all the way down to "Do Not Download it from the server" & check the box.
7. Now go to the "3. Rule Descriptions ..." pane & click on the "contains people" link. "Select People" window should pop up.
8. In this window add your own email address(es). After adding your 1st email address, click on the "Options" box. A "Rule Conditions Options should pop up.
9. In this window you'll see "Apply rule if:" & #'s 1. & 2. with 2. being grayed out (at least initially). Under 1. check the "Message does not contain the people below" line. You're done, if you only have one email, otherwise ...
10. Add the next email address & click "Options" again. This time you'll see that the 2. section is now selectable so select "Message matches any one of the people below"
11. Keep going until you're done.
12. Don't forget to name the new rule. No biggie if forgotten, as the name assigned will be "New Mail Rule #?" but it would probably be more useful to have a more descriptive title.
If anyone needs addl help just post to this same thread as I've got email notification set up for any replies to a thread to which I've contributed.
Good luck.
