You must have a spam program of some sort that is responsible.As far as getting spam, bulk or not, Blocked Senders is pretty much useless as the spammers change addresses constantly.

What you can do is set up a rule that if the message is to you (your email address) then stop processing more rules. Then have a subsequent rule to move all messages to a junk folder. That way all messages not specifically to you will be junked and you can review the folder for any messages you wish to keep and then Shift-Delete the others, which is what I do daily. steve <ginger's mom> wrote in message news:Email removed for privacy...Never before, but now recently have started receiving a lot of unsolicited 'Bulk" mail in my Inbox.
