Email looping with Outlook

[Nodan]

Hello,

A few days ago, I opened MS Outlook 2003 and found about 200 repeat emails from the same source, sent at the same time. It's a SPAM that sent by the nefarious saltonprice@ignmail.com source. I've set my Junk mail settings to block (didn't work). I've gone to the website email, but they aren't coming in there (so I couldn't tag it as SPAM at the server). The only thing that I've been able to do is set the Junk mail folder to auto-delete suspectd Junk-mail. Every time Outlook synchronyzes, I can see 11 emails (from the same source) coming and going.

Just updated Norton, scan says everything is clean.

It's like a pinball behind my firewall!

Help!

1)use message rules in outlook, tools->message rules-> mail
Use the option "delete it from server"....

2)if this doesn't work then use incredimail for few days, there is a facility "Bouncing" when you right click on header of the spam mail, there is a option "bounce to sender". This sends an email to the spammer that your email does not exist.....
I think this is the best way to stop spam.

Thanks!

I did not see the "delete from server" option under Tools/Rules. I'm only able to apply a "Permanently delete after receiving," rule, nothing about at the Server. Wierd thing is that I check the ISP email site and the messages aren't passing through them. Seems that something is "stuck," inside my firewall.

Am I missing something?

Wait, scratch that...I think that you fixed my problem! I'd set-up my email account w/ my Blackberry and indicated that I needed to keep a copy on the server for 1 day, but did not check the "remove from server after deletion," check box.

Works now...thanks again!!

I think you are using microsoft outlook 2003 and not outlook express. There is some difference between them. Outlook express has the facility to delete from server. Well Do one thing, check whether you are getting those emails without using email client, that is by logging to your email server in internet explorer. If you are getting those emails in your mailbox (yahoo, rediff, hotmail or gmail) then use filter facility of the server. So that server will block that spammer and you will not get such emails. And if you are not getting such emails in the server but getting emails in the outlook, it means some spyware is there in your computer. For that you will need to check the computer for viruses and spywares. Mostly spywares are spam generator...I recommend you to use microsoft antispyware....if you are using Windows Xp...else use whatever you like......

I hope this will work!!!
