I setup a Yahoo account one day in advance of going on a trip and wanting
easy access.  Within 5 minutes of setting up the account I had spam.  It
continued until I gave up and closed the account.

I no longer have a Yahoo account, nor allow any other free email to reach
me.  It is all filtered to the garbage.

If you do not want to maintain a reputable account with a reputable company,
then I guess I do not need to email with you: or so goes my really narrow
theory of email friends.

I will look again at your software......  something has to work......

Zone Alarm sets up a folder in Outlook and dumps the spam emails in a
"Phishing Mail" folder and or "Junk Mail" folder. I set it up 
to automatically delete when I close Outlook. 100% better than using Norton.

I think the full name is Zone Alarm Security Suite.

Yeah, I used Yahoo mail during Katrina which worked fine except for the few
hundred spam emails that Yahoo's filter ignores.
