Being a rather conservative family, we are tired of receiving the most vulgar and demonic spam imaginable by email. Everyday, 20 or so undesirable emails arrive from sicko’s all over the world.

Use the above link to see how to nuke them.

Hi All

Spam can come in many means and forms - By changing just one letter i can spam you thousands of times - and all i need to change is my return address and that can be changed automatically.

What you need to do is check the source of the actual mail - e.g. the server of the sender then block everything from that server that will basically block anything that that user or any other spammer from that server would be able to send.

Another thing is do not type your mail address in any posting that will go to open forum even on here can be a risk even though a very small one it is just good practice not to do so.

your mail address has most probably been picked up from a mail you sent on google or Yahoo or something. Eish very painful indeed if so

Yes that is correct Tailspin, spam comes in squers cans with "Spar" on the side and "Bullbrand" and "More" and many many more. So which brand of spam would you like?!
