How to block Ad-senders?
Hi:
For the past three months, I have been bomberded with un-needed senders from which I purchased in the past. Some days, there are 20 different companies, such as JC Penney, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Tiger and others. Since I have no intention to purchase until X-mas time, .... My question is; How to block those 'Un-needed' and 'Aggressive' companies that keep sendint me e-mails every day? Thanks for your help in advance. |

How to block Ad-senders?
Any reputable company (make sure their links actually point to the company's
website and not some other one) will have an unsubscribe link in the bottom of the email to stop having messages sent in the future. Also, when you purchase something, there is usually a checkbox item when checking out to receive or not emails from that company. Its usually checked by default and you need to uncheck it when purchasing. Also go to Tools | Options | Security and check the option to block images and other external content ,as if you do that it will prevent spammers from verifying your email address as valid. You can't block it all, but that will help some. steve "MapleE." wrote in message ... Hi: For the past three months, I have been bomberded with un-needed senders from which I purchased in the past.

When you placed your online orders in the past, did you pay attention to all information fields while filling out the order form? You may have submitted the order with a request for information pre-checked (a common practice with many commercial entities). On the possibility that is what happened, suggest you follow Steve Cochran's advice to "unsubscribe". -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
