I am not kidding, I have no more words (regular or XXX) to describe my state of mind
I would like getting a sledge hammer and .....

I get not only hundreds of spams daily but now I am stalked by
Whatever beginning and always ending by MX33.netsivex.us at the rate of many per hours
Plus that very bright one that has an always-random subject similar to
$74145 or other amounts

I used stalk intentionally has any one complain to police about being stalk by email
That might be a new venue?

And do not mention provider I am with roadrunner cable (Rochester US)
And they are supposedly the worst in filtering

We have discussed and still discussing about firefox
Too bad T-bird is said not being really there yet
And Eudora not performing to expectation

What can I do?
If I change of address here goes stationary etc... Plus the headaches consisting in being sure not to forget anyone
[edit] Help! time to post a new one using MX33 is there
[\edit]

Yes. *shrug* PITA.

I'm not having any problem at all using OE with FF. But then, I also use MailWasherPro as FLOD.... and that's not a problem either....

I didn't like Thunderbird. OE has always worked the way I expect a mail client to work. If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT.

I too use mailwasher
But how much good does it do?
When bombarded with hundreds of spam that anyway I need to go through to verify that I am not killing an expected one

If you want to stop the spam, then don't rely on the isp filtering it for you, install your own spam filter. It may not catch everything, and it may make mistakes but it puts YOU back in charge again, and takes away most of the stress of spam. I've used popfile and spambayes for filtering email, and they both work fine, sitting between your email client (outlook?) and mail server(roadrunners pop server?).

There's much truth in the adage "if you want a job doing properly, do it yourself".
