I have my mail setting set to only allow people within 150 miles from contacting me. However, I get messages from people all over the U.S. and every country in the world. Please advise.

The filters are not working. Mine is set for 50 miles. I still get messages from everywhere. I'm over here in the east. I get them from the west all the time. I was trying to block some of the scam messages coming out of California. It hasn't worked yet.

Well I am sorry but just went and checked it again and the box is checked and I have it set "must be within 150 miles to contact me". Charles, you are right. It does not work! Has not worked since I have been on here. And they men IF they read my profile which says no long distance and don't bother contacting me still do. I figure most of them look at the pics and don't bother reading the profile.

Well, your search distance setting, isn't equal to the email filter.

Glad Soufie helped you figure it out.

husker every thing here is filtered separately.
search filters do not control mail.
any more than the mail filters controls what you see in the forums.

Thanks Eric . I am actually aware the search and distance contact settings are separate. Someone just mentioned my search distance and contact setting were different. I actually lived in Lebanon,, NH some 35 years ago. Lots of snow!!!!
