The WORST thing you can do is reply asking them not to keep sending.


This only verifies your e-mail address is valid and is being monitored, making it much more valuable.


It will then be sold on or passed on to other people who will send your MORE spam.


Best to have one e-mail address for your friends, and another e-mail address for other things like surfing the interent.


That way you know the email you use for your friends should not get the spam.

Try a program like Mailwasher available here:

Or purchase something like McAfee Security Centre which has a spamkiller feature for blocking e mails.


Incredimail also has a mail blocking feature:

If you have Outlook Express click on Message, there you will see Block Sender, just follow the prompts. You can get programmes to remove spam, but they are very expensive.
