Have they made any programs that will block all random emails for say hotmail. I can't use hotmail at school because of certain enlargmnet emails (if you know what i mean).

um, I think you want to block certain mails from comming in, right? There are some settings for this in hotmail: look for "privacy" under options (I think). Also: you can block these senders from your inbox, just select them and click "block".

If you ment something else, let us know.

Most schools, colleges and universitys are now using programs to prevent access to internet e-mail services such as hotmail. This helps to prevent the number of viruses that get onto their system.

Schools, colleges and universitys have a variety of custom built programs that can scan and record the page you are on, these programs search for a variety of words. A couple of examples of words that can be and are most likly blocked are cheats and guns. The programs have been known to even prevent access to kids sites, your best option would be to speak to the member of staff in charge of the IT department or one of the teachers in that department.

Youve got to be careful when setting filters based on words. They Tried that at the college I attend and had some problems with some users including teachers ending up in the "Porno Pit" based on searches like 'System Analysis Tools' and 'MSExcel' due to the fact that they contain combinations of letters that make up 'Anal' and 'Sex'.
