I've been trying to remember how to set up the spam filter for Dave, but, just can't remember. Anyone care to help?

For e-mail? What program is he using?

Or do you mean the Mudcat BS: filter?

I think Kendal must be looking for the "BS Filter." It's in the "Tech Hints" PermaThread.
Here 'tis:

That functionality is highly dependent on the email solution you've chosen. Some HTML-based mail services (MSN, Hotmail) let you set up blocks from specific domains. The Eudora email client does a great job of letting you filter email on the client side. You need the full version of Eudora to do it which means either paying the $50 USD or so to license the full version or using the advertising version and filling your computer with spy-ware.

I found that you can use the full-function free version of Eudora, along with advertising, and then use Ad-Aware to clean up the spy-ware. Doubleclick cookies still show up from time to time but everything else seems to stay pretty clean. I'm not certain but cleaning up the spy-ware may violate the agreement you sign when you download the full-function free version of Eudora.

I'm currently using MS Outlook as a client to MSN so I block offending senders at the server end.

Dave uses Netscape. He gets lot of junk mail.
