Anyway to block mail messages by word type in the message header

...using windows live messenger? Getting too much spam from the same guy-changes his or the nicked mail everytime I block and so the only thing the mails have in common is they always contain the name of the product in the message header: For example Acai :mad:

Unless I have misunderstood your question, I kept addding him to the blocked senders because the amount of mail from him was doing my head in.
Initially my account was hijacked and I managed to get it back by simply changing my detail and locking him out.

But now it is [email protected], [email protected] etc 20 times a day. The easiest thing would be to block the term acai from being used but windows live does not allow for this.

Incidently I have never added him in the first place.

So your talking about hotmail then, not windows live messenger.

Sorry for the confusion. I have been using windows live (messenger) to log into an already existing hotmail account.

Does hotmail support email filtering? If so, could you not create a filter for acai and move it to the spam folder?

Yes it does but alas I was after blocking them permanently along with others of their ilk

You can only block their domains and the perpitrator changes then continually with each passing day.
