I followed Gene’s advice too – thank you – no more junk stuff coming through.

Hello, Great advice Gene to everyone. I am from New Zealand and use ' xtra.co.nz'. When the first email came through, on I think it was 10 Oct., I sensed it was 'Spam', didn't open and next morning with more coming in knew it was spam so immediately went and moved them to my 'Spam' folder via create filter. As a result I have had none in my inbox as all go immediately to spam and have now been stopped by my server. I have noticed from a quick look at the ones in the spam that many people were actually forwarding these emails on to everyone again by asking a question or making a statement about the email. Please never forward or answer a SPAM email! To those who have done this please take time to make yourself aware of the content and addresses of the emails you have coming in before opening and forwarding on to other people so as not to cause a massive problem like this again. Take time to check out what a 'spam email' could look like and never answer it, if unsure leave it wait, and check.

Click the drop down at the far right of the link. That's where you can create a filter. Enter whatever terms you want to filter on (I placed " a6862...@opayq.com" in the "From" box) then hit the "create filter" link, and that worked for me. Now those aggravating messages go directly to TRASH. I created my filter last evening, and I had three of those messages in my Trash this morning and NONE in my inbox. It works!
