How do I block these e-mails?

Example:

2005 was the year of the oil company with many of these
companies posting record profits. 2006 has been the year
of alternative fuels with companies involved in this sector
blowing off the charts. This trend shows no signs of
abating.
Our next feature is right in the thick of the high-growth
alternative energy sector and they are doing incredible
things.

AlgoDyne Ethanol Energy

Symbol: ADYN

Current Price: $1.30
Short Term Target: $3.50
Long Term Projected: $10.00

It doesn't take a genius to know why alternative energy is
such a high-growth area right now. Smart traders know how
to watch global trends and seize the moment.

AlgoDyne is where it's at. AlgoDyne has developed a
turnkey solution in their proprietary micro-algae based
process which can produce direct electricity, eco-friendly
fuels, and valuable bi-products.

The company has just hit its sweet spot in the development
phase and is set to release some astounding results. These
revelations are being backed up by a far-reaching PR
campaign.

It is essential to get in early in order to enjoy the
biggest gains. Come Tuesday, December 26th this one will
be rapidly going up to meet our target price!

Do not delay! Win with ADYN!

I keep getting these spam e-mails on stocks. Each time the company changes, the e-mail address changes and the IP address changes. I could block certain phrases but then I risk blocking something legit.

Are these coming into a free email account or an enterprise email system (Exchange, Groupwise, etc.) ??

The best way would probably have some sort of Bayesian filtering running on your email server. I've managed to filter out almost all of my spam with ASSP.

well it's a paid pop3 account. they support blocking by e-mail address and ip range but that's about it.

Then you're stuck with finding a local email filtering program. I only have experience with the server-wide aspect of it, so hopefully someone else can recommend something.

I have a friend who got lots of these every day. Always pushing the same cheap stock.

I changed his email address. I saw no other alternative.

I warned him about giving out his email address.

I've been playing with my web mail interface this morning to block the exact same email. If you can set filter rules at the web mail interface use "AlgoDyne is where it's at." or just "AlgoDyne".

I've been trying to set filters at the web interface so the emails never get downloaded to my computer, but if they do the spam filter on my computer catches them.


edit- oops, sorry. Reread & see you can't set filters.
If you use OE, K9 works great.
