catching most of them and I'm deleting the rest as soon as they come in.

Please tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to.

You're not the only one!
Only 250?

I'm up to 450 now.

I have been receiving only about 12 per day. Contacted msn and was told
to put them in the junk mail. The computer will recognize the return
addy and block them. Hope it works.
