Very disappointing news. This source has sent 10 emails with large attachments - always the same email - this morning, meaning great difficulty for me.

You could file a complaint with the sender's ISP. &nbsp;Sometimes that works. &nbsp;Very few ISPs like their clients to be sending spam.

It was a practical solution to the problem. Not fully satisfactory, but it worked. These emails have now ceased to come.

How to block unwanted email with large attachments, at source

Various techniques are used to prevent email spam (unsolicited bulk email). No technique is a complete solution to the spam problem, and each has trade-offs between incorrectly rejecting legitimate email (false positives) vs. not rejecting all spam (false negatives) - and the associated costs in time and effort. Anti-spam techniques can be broken into four broad categories: those that require actions by individuals, those that can be automated by email administrators, those that can be automated by email senders and those employed by researchers and law enforcement officials.

AntiSpam

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Email Software

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.
