Hi You might want to consider changing your email address. It's a real pain to change your email address, having to notify your friends and family and re-subscribe to all your email list, but it might be the only solution. If your current address has just gotten into the hands of too many spammers, an anti-spam program may not be able to keep up. If you do change addresses, you might want to consider setting up multiple addresses, such as one for personal stuff and another for email lists. Then if the spam starts again in the future, you'll at least have an idea of how your address got out

Hi, Thanks for responding. I'm not sure about whether Verizon has a spam blocker at this time, but I did have one years ago and it was definitely not user friendly with JAWS. I Googled Postini and it appears that Google will be discontinuing the program soon. I'm now still asking if anyone knows of a spam blocking program that works well with JAWS. It doesn't need to be a free one, that's how desperate I am right now. Thanks.
