Any spam you receive should now come to you with a *****SPAM***** tag in the subject. You can tell Outlook Express to automatically delete the messages that have this tag for you. Here's how:

1. Open Outlook Express
2. Click the "Tools" menu at the top of the window
3. Come down to "Message Rules"
4. Select "Mail" from the popout menu - This will open a new window.
5. There are four parts to this window. In the first part of the window you need to put a check in the box next to the line that reads "Where the Subject lines contains specific words"
6. In the second part of the window you want to scroll down and put a check in the box next to the line that reads "Delete it from server"
7. Now in the third section you will see it has put a description of what it is going to do. You will see where "contains specific words" is underlined in blue. Click on them. A window will open telling you type specific words. In the blank type *****SPAM***** (five stars, SPAM, five stars). Then click the "Add" button. Click "OK".
8. Section four will have "New Mail Rule #1" in the blank. Clear this out and type in "Spam filter". Here is the window should look when you are finished.
   
9. Click "OK".
10. Click "OK" on the next window.
