The only way I know is to just keep unsubscribing from there mailing lists. On the bottom of the emails there should be a link that you can click to unsubscribe. After doing it about 20 times they stop sending emails. Well atleast for about a month. lol

I tried that, but most of the reply addy's are bogus. It's pissin' me off. When I open my e-mail, there's like 50 of those bastages along with two or three wanted e-mail messages.

Talk to your internet suplier. Maybee they can help you. Some ISP's ask you to foward the spam to them, and they will go after them.

When I get them I just block their email address. Most of the time it helps.

Personally, I wouldn't trust the 'unsubscribe' email addresses at the bottom of an email. Even if they work, it's only short term. But, in most cases, it just tells the spam sender that you are a valid user that reads spam, and they'll target you more often.

I used Spamcop.net for awhile, sending them all my spam, and having accounts removed/disabled. However, after 2 years of that, nothing stops the flow of spam, except good rules/filters in your email client. I just gave up and started deleting them manually.

I would not e-mail them to be removed.If you notice,The ones you recieve dont even have your address on them just.It is just a come on to get the correct address.There is a group fighting spam I will try to find their web page.

Some of those sites you visit sell your ip addy to others Just like the post-Office does, I checked with my postmaster to see why it's legal unless you write to a addy in New York and request no junkmail. I get it all the time but, I know microsoft and bill gates has a hand in that seeing he owns the Windows crap ! later.
