    Please don't be offended by this shamless plug, but check my link signature (affiliate link, so you can bypass it by just using the url). I know where you are coming from about the junk emails. Spam Arrest seems to do a really good job.

    The only issue I have seen is that the bouncebacks seems to go into people's junk email folders. I check into the account once is a while and do a quick scan to see if their are any email addresses that I want to let through.

    if you don't want to deal with all the technical stuff anymore, you could always get a new email.

    A separate email for all your family, friends and such. And another one for your business needs.

    I recommend switching to Gmail. It has the most efficient spam filter.

    Don't subscribe to unauthentic looking mail services..
    That may help.

    I'd suggest you create a new email, but remember, if you however signup for any mail service, use the old email so your new one doesn't get spammed.

    Thanks,

    It seems that someone is making a living by spam.If you can not stop them,just sign up another mail account.
