Hi Dee. If the emails that you're referring to are advertisements,
then blocking them won't help. Your email addy is on a list somewhere
(or two or three) which is being accessed by multiple advertisers, and
each advertiser can have many originating email addys. So you can
block the email addy of the advertisement you just received, but that
email addy won't be used again anyway -- another one will. The best
way to stop this is to read through each email to the bottom part
where it says *to stop receiving our advertisements, click here*.
This will lead you through an unsubscribe process. This is
time-consuming, but eventuallly you will reach every sender and the
emails will stop. I went through this a few months back. You're
right -- it's maddening!!! MA
Not necessarily. Many of the "click here to stop emails" have been found
to be a verification of your address. That is, they send out emails to
random email addresses and names, and use that link to verify when they
get a live one, and then add it to their spam list. I never click
anything on a spam (at least when I used to get thousands of them a day,
I no longer get spams), to give them any opportunity to find out that
their spam really got through.

Does anyone know how to stop these please? I have Incredimail and
a facility to block and bounce, but they just keep coming in! I
put the words I want on the blocked senders thingy but they still
keep on coming and its driving me mad!
