    Hi everybody

    It seems lately that most of the spam i am getting in hotmail has subject boxes with sentences with no punctuation. For example here are three i received today
    • ManyBactteriaDevvellpopedReissistannceToTraditoinoalAntitbiotics.ManikndNeedsMorePoewfrulDrugs
    • WWhenMyChillrdenEatFast-FoodIThinkAboutPepopleSuffefirngFrommObeesity
    • PeopleWhoCheerisshTheirSexuaalLlifeStartImmpeotncceTrematentBbeofrePrbolemsOoccur

    Is there a way to set a rule to block these particular types of spam? this is not particularly important it just bugs me but if someone could suggest something to block these I would appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Is it going into your spam folder or inbox? Mine has been pretty good at trapping anything I get, albeit what little I get.

    everything that's not from someone in my contact list goes into my spam folder so its not really a big deal just being a little pedantic. is there a way to set specific rules for certain spam to be automatically deleted

    You can specify that messages with certain specified subject lines are automatically deleted, but if they're all random then it might be a cat and mouse game.

    yeah I'd imagine I could never get a one rule covers all when the letters are random as you say. Oh well, it was worth asking. thanks very much for your time
