    prevention is the key. How about not to post your email in this very thread and not let email address scrappers to collect it?

    you add that email to block list and spam filter will automatically delete it and doesn't allow such e-mail to get in your inbox next time. This feature is present in Yahoo

    I totally agree with wgcom. Use gmail. Their spam filter is so far the best I've ever seen on the Internet.

    there is another solution , called Sender Policy Framework or SPF
    it will prevent someone sending you mail using your domain in from field.
    http://www.openspf.org/FAQ
    all major email providers use it, google yahoo etc..
    but much much more easier will be just to use google or yahoo mail hosting.

    Use the spam filter setting in your mail client and add the email that you want to block.

    what makes you think so?
    is it the title of this forum?
    "All bug reports for Optigold ISP should be within this forum."
