[Rhodes22-list] Unbelievable Spam

[Slim]

WOW!  Just in the last 10 hours or so that I last posted, I've received 67
of the same identical emails.  The filter is working, but it doesn't really
delete the messages, it just moves them to a different folder--the "Deleted
Items" folder.  But that's OK, because I can quickly scan for any messages
that might be wanted or if not, I can "empty the trash" much easier than
deleting each one from my inbox.

Thanks to those who responded.
