someone is harrasing me at my work's e-mail also on my work cell. I know who it is but when I confronted this person they deny the phone calls & e-mails and now state that I hacked into their computer. I have printed all the e-mails. This has been going for for several years and need to put a stop to it as it is emotionally draining. Can I file charges against this person?

I'm afraid I'm not a lawyer. You should contact one, or your local law enforcement to see what's possible and practical.

When you block someone and delete them on MSN, they are NOT notified. To them it looks like you are offline.

What happens to filtered spam depends on the email system and filtering solution. The *right* thing is to do nothing - just delete it. Any kind of response will tell the spammer that they;ve reached a valid email address, and will result in MORE spam, not less.

What happens to SPAM emails that are filtered out of your account. Is there a delivery failure email to the sender or does it just delete the email and never inform the sender that you did not and will not receive any more emails from them?

I use the delete key, myself. Really, there's very little else to be done in the common case.

The irony is that these letters would stop completely shortly after they stopped working. But, sadly, enough people *still* fall for it that the spammers & scammers see it as worth continuing.

How do we counter the financial scam letters from Africa that use Yahoo mail? Yes! I use Mail Washer effectively. Are there any other ideas?
