Thanks! Changing an e-mail address that I've had for many years certainly
isn't easy, but I know something needs to be done. Guess I'll have to try
some of your suggestions to see if I can determine where it's coming from.
Again, thanks.

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.

Does Verizon offer a spam blocker with their internet service? I was
pleased with Postini until our internet host changed it to Red Condor
because Postini wasbought by Google. Red Condor is not very
accessible, but you might do a search for postini and see what comes
up. It's logical that Google will make the service available to its
e-mail accounts.
Perhaps you can get the program on your own.
Blocking individual e-mails, unfortunately, is like blocking dike
leaks with your fingers - the source of the spam is not affected when
you block emails sent from a mailing list.

Hi All,
As the subject indicates, I'm having a problem with controlling spam.
I tried everything I can think of including having MS take a look at
my computer to see if anything is wrong. I've been told that all
appears to be fine, so why am I still being deluged with dozens of
spam e-mails per day? I raised the UAC to 100 percent and not a dent
was made. I was told the only choice I have is to block the senders.
Well, I've already blocked so many addresses and when the gentleman
from MS checked, he agreed. He said that I have over 700 addresses
blocked and that was about two weeks ago. Please, please this is
getting out of control and I don't know what else to try!! Is there
someone out there who can come up with a solution? I'd be so grateful
for any help I can get. I'm running JAWS 15 latest version with Windows
7. Thanks.
Jo
