Al, 

A little harsh maybe to phrase it that way? One of the ways 
people "learn" is to post questions to the group this way. I was 
not "complaining" necessarily; just trying to find a better way to 
do all this. 

Given your suggestion, I went to Amerion.net, which, like other 
companies like this, have a very murky, vague, description on 
how to use their system. After reading all that, I still don't 
understand how their system works -- I assume that I must 
convince my ISP to "partner" with them. After searching all the 
FAQs, no information whatsoever on costs. I would assume that 
make it purposely vague. I'll add Amerion to my list of companies 
to avoid.

Other software that I've installed, like Panicware, seems to install 
all sorts of intrusive software.

It would be great if Outlook Express offered a simple checkbutton 
, alongside things like Flag/Priority, and Attachments, to simply 
add a Sender to the Junk Mail Filter. But they don't.

So, sorry for "complaining". But while I'm complaining, I'll add to 
that -- people who sign their posts with only their first names.
