Anyone good at C++?

Is there anyway you can write a program that filters internet mail, like hotmail and deletes it before it even gets to the inbox. then deletes it from the trash before the person sees it?

Don't QUOTE me on this, but I think if your using MS Outlook for your mail, you can use VB(A) to do those sorts of things.

No, its strictly web-based. Is this possible? I must rid myself of a pest...

 

[notfred]

only if you work for hotmail.

Can you just not "block" this e-mail address from mailing to you. Also, most people don't realize that 99 percent of all junkmail has an "unsubscribe" link all the way at the bottom. My dad was recieving all this crap. One day, I went in there, unsubscribed to over 100 mailing lists, and no problems since.

Try that.

Don't they have an option where you could empty your delete folder when you logon/off? You could also create filters for it that will send the mail to a certain folder.

 

[tweakmm]

what are you trying to do exactly? Do you want the program to reside on the server or do you want it to be activated from a script on a desktop that will erase all of the bad mail.

I want to install it on one computer, that will delete the mail before its even seen.
