You may need to check your filters in Thunderbird. If nothing else,
telling it that anything addressed to this list is to be left in the
Inbox might be a Good Idea unless you've reason to filter out specific
users. Also, some judicious editing of /etc/hosts (or its equivalent
on your daughter's Mac) can make the problematic domains unreachable
for her by mapping them to 127.0.0.1. I'm not sure if that's what's
needed, or it it's more heavy-handed than you want, but it is a
possible solution.

I do a lot of Thunderbird filtering, normally this list is
filtered into the "Fedora" directory, sometimes it seems to pick
up on something else but that is unusual. I am quite satisfied
with the way it works.
I did not realize there was an /etc/hosts file in the Mac, had
not considered that, just saw it while reading through the stuff
George sent earlier. Still, I am not comfortable changing stuff
in the Mac, don't even know what it has for a text editor
although I'm sure I would find it quickly. But I'm afraid I can
still get myself in a corner and not know how to fix what damage
I might do.
I would prefer to work on the router if possible. I would like
to find the application that is causing the heavy usage and tell
her to kill it, I tried to convince her to quit all the
applications this morning but met with resistance, always
worried she will lose data, "how will I restart them?" and I am
no authority!
