I am being spammed with obscene offensive junkmail.

Yeah, they are harsh on the eyes. It's not so bad, the men's products, but f***book begins with that four letter word (AND IT'S NOT 'FACE'!) and it's like it jumps out at you like the assault that it is.

It's Hotmail, but I -also- have a Yahoo email address, which I stopped using mostly, but sometimes. And it is spammed thusly the -same- .

I've gotten that nasty F book one too!

I notice when I block some things,they still return using a different address to send the crap from. Very annoying!!!!!!!!!

yep.. got another one today, different address.

I have a question for you all about YOUTUBE as well. Every day I would search in YouTube because I like all the different selfstyled Astrologers who come up and give my sign a reading.
Lately, blatant pornography has been in the mix. The other day, I sent a complaint note to (contact us/send feedback) with this naked hynden, and today, I did my usual search, and something far more blatant, you know, people doing things, came up. Well, I learned that there is a flag icon under the vid, as like and unlike, etcetera, are. But you have to bring the horrendous image even closer! to get at that flag, which apparently, allows you to turn in, the offending vid.
It's like having to get near and pick up a steaming pile of maggotridden whatever, instead of viewing it from afar, knowing someone else will remove it.

Ah, now that you mention youtube, I remember once clicking on a link from a video that had nothing to do with sex or porn, something completely innocent and some porn page popped up. Yep, been getting those nasties ever since. I'm usually careful about clicking links. damn!

I've received emails from f***book too. They go straight to my junk mail. I only know because my Facebook notices also go to my junk mail and so I occasionally check it to see what I've missed lol

In Yahoo and I think in GMail, you can employ filters. In Yahoo, you click on Options | Mail Options | Filters.

Filters are automatic email sorters. You can have your mail automatically sorted when emails come in. Specify whatever is appropriate. For example, you can put all mails with the words 'sex' in the subject into a special folder. You can direct any mail from certain senders as well. For me, the destination folder is the trash folder.

Hope this helps.
