One of our mailboxes is receiving over 400 adult spam messages weekly all from the aol.com domain!!!

We have checked out Shackdaddy FAQ but we can't really block the aol domain, as it could be valid mail coming through to other users, and we can't enter in the usernames as every single username this spam is coming from is different (randomly generated).

To make matters worse we have no budget to buy any spam software (NHS)!! And the email address that these are being sent to can not be changed under any circumstances.

Does anyone out there have any bright ideas? Perhaps of a way of blocking the aol.com domain for the individual mailbox?

Your help would be very much appreciated - before I loose all my hair !
 
I have a similar problem with SPAM as its only one user that is recieving it all and as we havnt got any email filter software sitting on Exchange i use some software called spamnet this basically sits in Outlook and filters the emails as they come in with little user intervention and it only costs $4 a month (approx £2.50). Ive found this a very useful tool (also it has a 30 day trial).

Hope this can be of some use.
