Hi, I'm on Outlook Express 5.02. I'm getting clobbered by someone trying to send me an attached virus. I'm on a Mac so this virus won't work but the sender is sending this in a pattern of every 6, then every 7 minutes. The host company is in German. I went to that site and lodged a complaint there but because I don't speak German, it's hard to tell if I went to the right area or if they understood my complaint.

The sender is always from the same address. I suspect that the address was hijacked and that the owner is not actually the one sending it?

The message is ..."Hi! How are you?
I send you this file in order to have your advice
See you later. Thanks

Is there a way for me to tell Express to automatically delete email from a certain incoming address?

Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Howdy:

Block Sender option.. Just use the Help section to find and configure it.
