There are a few ways to block spam from international senders in Windows Vista Mail. The first way is to use the Junk E-mail filter. To do this, open the Windows Vista Mail program and click on the Junk E-mail icon. Then, select the type of spam you want to block. You can choose from a variety of types of spam, such as viruses, ads, and Trojan horses. The second way to block spam from international senders is to use the Spam Blocker tool. To do this, open the Windows Vista Mail program and click on the Spam Blocker icon. Then, select the type of spam you want to block. You can choose from a variety of types of spam, such as viruses, ads, and Trojan horses. The third way to block spam from international senders is to use the Filter button in the Advanced section of the Windows Vista Mail program. This button allows you to set different filters for different types of spam. You can set filters for email addresses, messages, or both.
A large amount of the spam that I get consists of mail coming from all sorts of international domains. Since I don’t have many close friends that live in other countries, I really don’t need to see any email from most of those domains, at least not on my personal accounts.
To block all of that spam mail from hitting your inbox, open Windows Mail and go to the Tools \ Junk Mail Options item. Click the International tab, and you should see this screen:
There are two seperate ways that you can block international spam: First, you can block the domains themselves by selecting them here. If you do the Select All option, you should be warned that .US is also in that list.
You can also choose to block message encodings. I blocked all of the asian message encodings, because I definitely can’t read those languages, and about 1/10th of the spam I get these days is encoded in one of those types. Again, be careful about doing the Select All option or you will end up blocking all email from everybody.
