How do I block those stupid Hoodia/Cii-allis/ROLEX emails

[romay12]

No matter what I do, I keep getting those darn
ROLEX/HOODIA/CIIAllis emails that consist of
a image (I guess) of the add and a bunch of
garbage outside the image.
I understand how to create rules for messages and
have already tried that. It doesn't pick up the
word because they are in the image, I guess.
Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of them?
BTW, they are from different senders.
I get 2 or 3 a day SINCE... I might add.. I used snapfish.com.

Rules for spam are a waste of time. What you need is a good anti-spam application. See http://www.slipstick.com/rules/junkmail.htm#tools

What version of Outlook are you using? I ask because the Junk Mail filter in
OL2003 is pretty good at catching those messages.

So Sue.
Which one of the dozen or so will take care of my problem?

Thanks,

The first one that you try that gets rid of enough spam to make your life easier. Pick one and take it from there.

That's not the same as outlook - you'll need an antispam program that works
for outlook express. IHateSpam and Norton Antispam are two of several on the
slipstick list that will work with OE.
