Instructions

    Start With Spam Blocker

  1. Step 1

    Download Earthlink Total Access and operate Earthlink email to access Earthlink SpamBlocker.

  2. Step 2

    Examine the first level of spam blocker for email. The Suspect Email block decreases the amount of junk emails you receive, giving you virtually 100 percent protection while filtering all emails to your personal address book.

  3. Step 3

    Look at the blocker for Known Spam. It works by eradicating spam, so it never reaches your email inbox. Once detected, spam is automatically sent to the Known Spam folder. Authentic emails cannot be filtered and arrive immediately to your inbox. All the spam is kept for you to examine so you can locate any miss-routed email.
