Shit, my Block Senders list is maxed out and the spam keeps comming!
Should i create a new account?
Also did you guys noticed of those pop-ups that pretent -- and actually are your system warnings. It seems they detect you IP address and send you that BS. What can i do about it?

my spam block stuff was maxed out pretty quick.
i still use the same account, but i have my junkmail filters all the way up.
i wouldnt worry about the IP warning shit. anyone can find out your IP. but you can get a pop-up blocker that will take care of it.

Yeah, but lately i'm working with engineers whose addresses look even wors than those of real spammers -- sometimes even i cannot catch one, so i'm sure all those filters will just throw them out to the garbage...

there are different hotmail settings that allow you to block everything but email from people in your address book.
that or get a new email, OR do like i do and sort thru your junk mail every once in a while.
i usually get about 20 junk mails a day. i just scan them quickly and empty folder.

I used to get the messages shit.
Right-click on MyComputer.
Chose Manage/Services and apps/Services then disable the messenging service thingie.

also keep in mind that you can delete old blocked addresses and add new ones. if you have to.
i use 3 emails. one for public that gets junk mail and one for private that has no filters and is ONLY used for person to person communication. that one doesnt get spamed cuz i dont use it for ANYTHING public.
