0 ..... Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 if you remove everything from the block filter you will start to recieve junk mail, but most of the adresses in there will be unused now, you can then block any mail you get, i do this every couple of months, it takes about a week to block all the spam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kintamanate Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 i can try that. but how does it go directly to my trash? can it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DrunkenMaster Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Sorry, but what are you complaining about. You get Hotmail for *free*. I get 10-15 Korean and Chinese spams in addition to all this other junk mail on my work/main e-mail account. If I had a choice I would much rather get spanish spam since I could actually read it. Makes it that much more pleasureable to delete. If only I could read Chinese well enough to know how to make a million dollars or increase my penis size, the spam might make more sense.

0 kintamanate Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 I'm complaining about the weekly 320k files im getting in my junk mail folder. each e-mail is 320k. a *.cpl file. we all know what cpl is. bad news. im just wondering how to make this e-mail go straight into my trash can so it doesnt count toward my total storage limit. if you count it up 4x320 is 1280kb. < ..thats what im complaining about.

0 tagerd0g Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 go to options, choose junk mail filter, choose your level of "protection". If you only want to receive certain people and they're on your address book, select exclusive. then go back to options, choose junk mail deletion, then choose immediate. with that set, any junk mail will never reach your account. also check your sent messages folder. that adds up to your space.

0 jayfer1 Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 :ponder: Why not just put both of the email addresses in the blocked list and not worry about them? Just delete 2 of them from the blocked section and add the new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
kintamanate
Ok. whats the deal.
I thought the junkmail folder didnt count towards my limit.
Every two days I get 2 emails:
one from
hotchick272002@msn.com
with subject
"30 pregutas para saber si tu pareja te enga?a."
total of 318K attachment "Adulterio_en_tus_narices.cpl"
in the message:
"nunca esta demas saberse estas cosillas, je je."
second e-mail:
drmark_allislost@hotmail.com
subject: "Test de amor."
attachment: "testdeamor.cpl" also 318k
message content: "leelo y luego me dices que tan enamorado estas o si es solo calentura ja ja ja."
cpl..sounds like virus to me.:hurt:
so thats over 600k every two days.
wtf?!
