Netscape 4x Spam Filtering

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

1. Open Netscape Mail (open your Inbox)

2. Click the "Edit" menu from the top of the window

3. Come down to "Message Filters". This will open a new window.

4. Click the "New" button to the right.

5. The new window has three basic sections. The first section is for the name of the filter. Click in the blank and type in "Spam Filter".

6. In the center section we have several drop down lists. We need to change the first one to "Subject". To the right there is a blank. Click in this blank and type in "*****SPAM*****" (five stars, SPAM, five stars without the quotes).

7. The last section has two drop down lists. You will need to select "Delete" from the first list.

8. Click "OK".

9. Click "OK" again.

That's it! Now when you check your mail Netscape will automatically delete any mail that has *****SPAM***** in the subject line.
