Just bounce the emails back to them and the computer that sends 'em will think that your email address is no longer in use. So it stops sending them to you. It does work believe me.
Not really; apparently some spammer has started using my work e-mail address as the sender for spam, so I now get a flood of failure messages and they all go directly to my trashcan and the sender never sees them. Spammers don't use repliable sending addresses. Besides, why do they care if an e-mail address doesn't exist anymore? The price of an e-mail is arround a thousandth of a cent.
WetWired, you're a pretty intelligent person, maybe you know the answer to a question that has been bugging me for a while.
Why is it that e-mail spammers and pop-ups and pop-unders and pop-arounds and everything else get worse and worse every year? Do people actually get influenced to click on pop-ups and buy whatever product or service is being offered?
I can't remember one time that I've ever intentionally clicked on a popup and bought something or opened a spam-mail and bought something.
It works if it's a computer on the other end that is sending the spam. They must be programmed not to send spam to emails that bounce it back, as it puts them under the impression that they musn't be in use anymore.
But if it's a manual spammer...well, then you're screwed...
