Outlook Express?

Then you can easily set the emails to auto-delete, and have the Deleted Items folder empty itself, when OE is closed down.

Thanks, I already tried that.

I have multiple e mails from one particular spammer every day and I was asking for suggestions on how to block that spammer .... I don't feel that is being "obsessive".

And you're sure they're all from the same IP and not only have the same From: address and Subject:?

I just checked my recent spam and the majority originates from different IP addresses, even though some of them have the same From: and Subject:

Trust me, you're wasting your time with this and that's what I mean with "obsessive". These emails are already in your junk folder, what more do you want?

This spammer has a static IP address. Obviously one could not block the IP for a sender with a dynamic IP.

you can block Dynamic IPs you block the IP range. in my example earlier you would block 89.216.76.0 - 89.216.76.255

follow them instructions in the link i provided about outlook

using the ip of the spammer you gave http://whois.domaintools.com/91.122.213.140

the IP range to block is 91.122.208.0 - 91.122.223.255 which you would place where it asked for the address to block

sometime 91.122.208.0 - 91.122.223.255 will be accepted or you may have to add it like 91.122.208.0-91.122.223.255

I got all that, but do not understand where I would enter an IP address or IP range I wished to block?

And that will be useless when the spammer changes the subject.
