Does anyone know of a good spam blocker for outlook express? I am in desperate need of one and would prefer it to be free or really cheap if possible. Thanks for your help.

in outlook, you can go to tools>message rules and add addresses to a block list, though this probably isn't what you're looking for - anything helps these days.
I gave up on outlook and exclusively use Yahoo Mail now. Does a PIMP job of blocking spam though and usually one two or three actually make to my Inbox rather than the Junk Mail folder which you can empty in one click.
$10 per year gives you a 25 MB mail box and POP access to download mail from other accounts to your Yahoo mail folder.

Mozilza mail is working pretty good for me blocking all the spam

Thunderbird (Mozilla's standalone mail app, like how Firebird is the standalone browser app) has integrated bayesian filtering. Alot of people seem to be liking Thunderbird as a mailer period.

I use Thunderbird, and have to say that it is pretty great from what I have seen.

I think i am going to give thunder bird a shot. I have heard good things about Mail Blocks (http://about.mailblocks.com/) It works on a cool challenge system where when someone sends you an email, mail blocks sends them one back asking them to resond to see if it is a real person. Looks promising. I will report back on it, if i decide to get it. Thanx everyone for your feed back :D
