you didnt say who was your email server–best way i found was use yahoo email stopped them cold turkeyAnswer by Harley Charley
supposedly we are allowed to order them to unsubscribe from their mailing list.
BUT, that only applies if they are honest and they are NOT.
What they will do if you “unsubscribe” is put your email on a list of “verified” emails. When you reply, it proves there is someone on the other end who views that email. Spammers have no conscience, they sell lists to each other all the time.
ask your ISP to install a spam filter.
Mine uses something called Postini and it works very well.
spam blocker, unsubscribe from the emails (usually located at the bottom of the email) and don’t sign up for free trails etc. Some people actually sell email lists which is why you may recieve random emails.Answer by Lopez H
Sign up for a new E-mail, and be sure that when you give your e-mail to sites that you sign up for to get Id’s and stuff that you trust the site and it has a Blocker on the page.

I’m not sure outside of the mail filters themselves. Just ensure the proper settings are on. Also, I have made a new email account myself, and use solely that one, dont give it out to any internet based companies, and generally U shouldnt recieve any spam. JUst watch who you give it too.Answer by noknojon
You either have spyware in your computer if the same email comes in , or you have been caught on ‘those’ sites and will get spammed until you buy decent blockers . Microsoft have even got a reasonable free one now.Answer by MrsMagee
they will never go away because it sent out as a vast email that includes any and all emails with part or all of your email address. keep doing what you are doing, i get them all day long for Viagaria and I am a woman!Answer by nestprop
It is very difficult to get off a mass mailing list. You can use SPAM blockers, but they won’t work well becauser the sender will intentionally misspell words so the SPAM blocker won’t catch it. The best policy is to never respond to one of these emails and if they really bother you change your email address.
Now the bad news. If you are getting this type of email, you or someone using your computer most likely once visited a site somehow related to the emails you are receiving. You might want to make sure everyone that uses a computer that contains your email address has no interest in these subjects.
