Junk mail filters are certain rules set up with particular mail clients that block certain mails from falling in your inbox and instead direct them to you junk mail folders. \nsome emails may not be solicited and sent to hundreds of recipients, such mails can be categorized as junk/bulk/spam!

Some spam is just being generated by viri. For example the one you mention seems to have an attachment. If the attachment has malicious content, and the email reader is set to automatically open it, the damage is done as soon as the email gets through the spam filter.

Try mozilla thunderbird. It has a spam filtering that sends all those messages to the spam folder where you can delete them. \nI don't use outlook, so I can not tell if there is a filtering option there too.

i'm assuming it's on yahoo, so click all of the messages then click junk, but you have to have it set so that any mail coming to your junk folder gets deleted automatically

Yes I do.  I have it set on high. The ones that do get through go to my bulk mail and stay there for a week and then are automatically deleted.  That gives me time to look themover and see if I want any of them.  I can set it to delete them automatically without looking at them.

In the Spam folder???\n\nI might be missing something but it's the folder (on the left) below 'sent' and about 'Trash'.

Legally there is no current legislation preventing junk e-mail.  The most effective way to prevent it is to not give out any personal information online at all (unless absolutely neccesary through a trusted sight) and especially never your e-mail adress.  PLUS and this is a must, always always always mark your spam as spam.  report it to the e-mail server.  there should be a button to click when you open an e-mail that says flag as spam or report spam.  click it.  if you're getting a great deal of spam despite a spam blocker, report it to your e-mail provider.

It's a filter program that picks up keywords, which the people of the mail system update with more words as they come along.

Without having any idea what software or operating system you are using, I can't say for sure.  Most e-mail readers/services offer this function though.  Try searching for "spam filter", "junk email", or "rule" in your software's help file or web service's FAQ.

Download a little program called Mailwasher. When you have mailwasher on your system set it up to your account that is getting hit with spam. After you have done all that check your mail. Also in the program you can delete any e-mails before they are sent to your mail program. Click on the link below to learn more about this cool little program and there is also the free download on that site.  Good Luck...

You need to 'train' your junk filter about what is and what isn't junk.\n\nGo through your spam folder and mark the 'Not Spam' as just that. After a few dozen messages your spam filter will start to get better at working out what is and isn't spam coming to you.\n\nThis is, of course, assuming you haven't put a 'bad' rule into your spam filter telling it to send everything to 'spam'.\n\nFinal idea use Thunderbird instead of Outlook Express and thereby get access to its better implemented spam filtering.\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/\n\n///\n\n///

The emails are probably just going to your bulk/junk mail folder since they are to a mailing list. Be sure to check, and add the address to your safe list for future messages.

You could use Thunderbird to check your email. It has adaptive spam filters:\n\n"Each email you receive passes through Thunderbird's leading-edge junk mail filters. Each time you mark messages as spam, Thunderbird improves its filtering so you can spend more time reading the mail that matters. Thunderbird will also use your mail provider's spam filters to keep junk mail out of your inbox."
