Thank-you,
I had completely forgotten about the "filtering" feature on my email system.
I just added another one.
Cheers!

=======================================================
One of the neat features of modern e-mail programs is a setting known as a "filter". It allows you to automagically route messages to various mailboxes, or the trash, based on criteria you choose. It makes it fairly quick and painless to remove an unwanted presence from your e-mail.
Here's how to do this in the Eudora E-mail client:
On the top menu bar click: Special --> Make Filter
A dialogue box will come up where you fill in the name of who you'd like to filter. For instance, if you'd like to filter posts made by Douglas Stambler, enter: Douglas Stambler <stopchristchurch@yahoo.com> in the "From" box.
On the bottom of the dialogue box, there is a setting for where to send the filtered message. Select "Delete Message (Send to Trash)" if you'd like.
Now, whenever you receive a message that matches that criteria, Eudora will automagically send it to the trash bin. No muss, little fuss.
---------------------------------
If you use Yahoo to read your e-mail, it can be done by selecting "Mail Options" at the main e-mail window. Then "Block Addresses". Enter "stopchristchurch@yahoo.com ", for example, and it will be added to your blocked list.
---------------------------------
For Microsoft Outlook, at the top menu bar select: Tools --> Rules Wizard
When the Rules Wizard dialogue box pops up, select "Add".
Under "Which type of Rule do you want to create", select "Move new messages from someone".
Select the underlined "People" link and a Rule Address box will pop up. If you don't have Douglas Stambler in your list of people, then select "Create New Contact", enter his information and e-mail address then hit OK. Now, select his name, and click the "From->" button and it will be added to the list on the right. Hit OK.
Click the underlined "Specified folder" and select Deleted Items.
If you want to be trickier, add more conditions, but otherwise click "Next->" twice and give this rule a name. Select Finish.
Make sure the rule has a checkmark in the box, then click OK. Ta-da!
---------------------------------
For other e-mail clients or systems, please consult your documentation (F1 will bring up a help menu, usually. Look for "Filters" or "Rules" under the help search feature.
Hope this helps.
