How can I block someone from sending me e-mail.

[Lori]

I am receiving emails from three different sender that contain a virus/worm.
I have been receiving them multiple times per week for almost a year now. My
anti-virus program always catches it, but what a pain. I have tried e-mail
the original sender to find my address in their address book and delete it
but to no avail. Can I somehow block this person from sending e-mails?

Thanks.

No, but you can have a rule delete all mail from them.

Take a look at the Internet Mail Headers (open the message, go to view |
options) to see who the message is really from - most email borne viruses
spoof the sender, so you're probably contacting the wrong person.

You could perhaps find out the originating server IP in the headers, find
out who owns it at www.arin.net/whois, and copy the header info to the
clipboard, press Forward on the offending message, and email the "abuse"
address listed on arin...

Several ways.. One is to call your ISP and have them BLOCK this person's
incoming email.. Another is to "right click on the incoming Email header
line, then right click on Add to Junk Email".. That should also do it..
Hope this helps..
