Hi guys...
we all get emails we don't really want...but lately, I have been getting 4 or 5 at a time with subject that mention the size of a man's you-know-what. They are all very similar althought they have different senders. I am just disgusted and sick of them. I delete them without opening them, but I really want it to stop. Any suggestions?

Can you report it as spam to your E-mail ISP?
I know on yahoo I can, but it does have to be opened
first in order for the report option to show.

I get the same emails in my spam box. I do not open them but I see icon_eek.gif the bad icon_evil.gif subject. I hate that.

You should be able to go into your email Preferences and block a lot of those, specifying some words and addresses. You can also set your spam filter higher to stop some of them.

Most of the time if I don't recognize address as somebody I know and I know I didn't ask for mail from them, I just mark them all as spam...at least in the email I use just for correspondence.

I hate getting that stuff too, just report them as spam, eventually they will stop getting into your mail box. Janice

I get those also and today I got an email for higher education from some religious organization and what made me made was they showed everyone's email addresses in my email. I tried to reply to ask them to stop and to remove my email address but the reply was returned. I then emaild my server and I am waiting for a reply. There needs to be someone that your can send these spams to to have them fined or shut down.

I've been getting a TON of those, and every other type of spam lately too. I have my yahoo filters set as high as they go and they're making it into my inbox. Just the number that go to the Spam box infuriates(sp?) me.

What a royal waste of people's time and companie's server space. I wish there was a way to stop it.

It's difficult to stop, but easy to limit. When you see those types of messages, select them and Junk instead of Delete. After a while, majority will go straight to Junk folder instead of Inbox. Of 30 or so spam that hit my address today, 5 actually went to the Inbox. This is with Hotmail. You also have to set preferences for Junk to go to Junk without being read. Junking it also alerts Microsoft so they will update their email scans.
