    Post Spam in email (non-english characters)

    Does anyone know if there is a way to block this sort of thing on Outlook Express. I get at least two or three a day of the kind that looks like Asian characters. I do have some pretty robust filters and don't seem to get any more spam from anyone in English. However, now I have started getting these with all the funny characters in the from as well as the subject line. I have spam buster on my computer but still have to delete this sort of thing.

Although I'd send something larger, like the 5MB version of bad_day.mpg.

    You ought to be able to use message rules to exclude specific characters in the subject line, you can do it with phrases so I don't see why not chars?

    Mind you may need a few rules...

    Adding this to the message rules might help <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
