spam is killing me, and I'd like to be able to block all email from given
countries (IN, NE)  Comcast used to have a decent spam filter, but it seems
to have broken down completely.  I have McAfee, and it isn't helping either.  
Suggestions?

Blocking by country would require blocking by IP address. I don't know if MS
Outlook can do that; MS Outlook Express can't.

No, Outlook cannot.

Thank you.  I guess I'm going to need to buy a separate spam-blocking
software.  <rolls eyes>

You can block unwanted e-mail messages that come from countries/regions that
you specify.
