How can I find, in order to block, the address of a junk mail whose address is nowhere to be seen. I do not want to reply to its return address for that will be an invitation for mor junk.

Thanks
 
Most "good" junk mail has an option, usually in small print at the bottom of the page to opt out of future mailings. I use this method all the time and it usually works. For really nasty or unethical junk mailers -

If you have Outlook (don't know about OL Express)


On the toolbar, click Organize.
Click Junk E-mail.
At the bottom of the pane, click the link.
Click the Edit Junk senders link.


Use Help to look up "Junk Mail" to see other features.

The two rules for success are:
1. Never tell them everything you know.

 
I forgot to add that if you want to "find" out who is sending you may be able to discern the sender by:
right click on the message > Options

on the message Options page at the bottom is a scroll box entitled Internet Headers look through that info. Usually near the top is a Return Path entry.

Hope this helps...
