If you are using Apple's mail program, you can go to Preferences/Rules and find an excellent system for dealing with unwanted mail. I have found it very effective.

After I establish a rule I never see the spam again. If it does get sent to me, I hear the audible alert that mail has arrived but it never appears in my inbox. I've gone from receiving a fair amount of unwanted mail to possibly one or two in a week - that I quickly dispatch.


With respect Ryck, you are also missing the point. In order to set Rules in Mail, I would have to download the ****ers into my Mac, from whence to "Rule" them out.

I don't download them. I look at them online.

Also - sorry to sound pedantic, why did you start with "If you are using Apple's mail program,"

IF? You mean "since". There is no "if" about it.

(It's probably a regional thing, saying "if".........)
