I was in an argument with this dude on a message board, and now he wont stop emailing me. I have windows XP and use Microsoft Outlook. Is there a way i can block his emails from coming in.

For some reason, e-mail filters in outlook are called rules. You'll find a rules wizard under the tools menu. Very easy to set up.

Yep, just block him with one of those.

set the rule to forward it back to him, you can do it simply by opening the message, not in preview, and then select create rule from message.

Complain to his ISP. If you can figure out how to paste the full headers here, I will show you how to figure out who to complain to.

i use POPfile it rocks, sends spam to trash.

you have to configure it and it needs some training on what is spam and what is mail but works good.

YES!! POPfile RULES!

For those of you who don't know it, it's a Bayesian email categorizer--that supports more than two buckets! In other words, it doesn't just sort spam from ham, it'll actually categorize the email you receive based on the history of emails in various buckets. VERY nifty.
