G-4 running 10.3.9 and OS-X's Mail. It frustrates me to keep marking as junk the same advertisements from the same companies but continue to get their ads, week after week. In Mail I don't see any of the type of filters I had in OS-9 Eudora, where you could flag the name of the company and it would thenceforth filter it out.

How come I can keep marking the same companies' mail as junk but keep on getting the ads? For example, I continually get ads for books from an East Indian company called "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" When these ads come in, the "From" header is always "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and yet no matter how many times I flag them as junk, OS-X Mail continues to let these ads through. What can be done about a situation like this?

Go to Mails preferences, click on the Rules tab. Set a filter is from of message contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" move it to folder Trash. You can do lots of stuff with the rules.

Also, check that that address hasn't accidentally been added to your address book. The Junk filter will always ignore any mail with such an address.
