If everyone did this, the problem would go away: (Most of you know how to do this already, but for those who aren't as comfortable with computers, this info might be of some use...) Most pop/smtp email client software programs, as well as most web-based mail systems (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) offer simple ways to filter incoming email so that messages from unwanted senders goes straight to the trash. This filtering is also extremely useful in sorting your mail - particularly for moving all incoming list emails to a subfolder, so that your pianotech list emails don't get mixed in with your general inbox messages. (I have dozens of filters and folders, and I simply could not function if everything came into one inbox.) Below are instructions for auto-deleting incoming mail from unwanted sources for Thunderbird and Outlook. For other systems, the procedures are quite easy to find by searching: Mozilla Thunderbird: Go to Tools > Message Filters > New. Type in Filter Name (whatever you want to call it) Set Apply Filter When:  Checking Mail In the 3 upper drop-down boxes: Select "From" in the left box Select "contains" in the middle box Type in the address you want to reject in the right box In the lower drop-down boxes: Select "Move Message to" in the left box Select "Trash" in the box to the right of that. Microsoft Outlook: The fastest way to block mail from a sender in Outlook 2007 and 2010 is to right-click a message from the address, choose Rules > Always Move Messages From, and select the Deleted Items folder in the list that appears. Another option is to add the address to Outlook's Blocked Senders list: in Outlook 2003 and 2007, click Tools > Options > Preferences > Junk E-mail > Blocked Senders > Add, and then enter the address. To access the Blocked Senders list in Outlook 2010, click Junk in the Delete group on the Home tab and choose Junk E-mail Options > Blocked Senders > Add. You can also select a message from the sender to be blocked and click Junk > Block Sender. The Outlook 2010 Help and How-to site provides more information on the program's Safe Senders, Safe Recipients, and Blocked Senders lists.
