I'm getting a load of spam e-mails from people whose e-mail address is [name} @aim.com.These all go to just one of my e-mail addresses . This is the only spam I'm getting.How do I block it?

have you turned on your spam-blocker fred?
if yes, then change your email address by adding a digit

If you are not expecting any mail from aim.com, you could set up a message rule to forward any mail with aim.com in the sender's name to your deleted items.

Squarebear; how do I set that up? It sonds the perfect solution.

[ChuckFickens]

it depends on what you use to get your mail as to how you setup a mail rule to delete the spam mails

outlook?

outlook express?

webmail of some sort?

I'm on AOL, Chuck:

[ChuckFickens]

well that explains it then

mails that are from address that end @AIM are actually from AOL.

you may find it hard to stop them as obviously AOL does not want you to filter out their own emails.

I really don't know anything about the AOL email Client but a quick google came up with this

Thanks, Chuck. Your link led to another.It turns out that it's possible to block any AIM where the sender is not in your AIM or AOL address book. Shall try that .
