If you're using Gmail, mark them as spam. If you receive similar ones over and over, set up a custom filter to automatically delete them.

Hi,

In my opinion Gmail has a very good spam filter. In addition, I have configured Gmail as a pop3 account in Outlook.

After testing lots of email filters (and security suites) for years I have finally chosen the program Spam Reader as my Spam filter and I recommend it to anyone who uses Outlook.

Obviously, there are other useful actions to consider:

- Avoid using email links in web pages: Forms are a better solution.
- Don't post your real email address anywhere. Use an alias or a redirection service.
- Avoid common addresses, like webmaster@mydomain, info@mydomain, etc.
- Use a dedicated email address for search engine and directory submissions

Well, HTH.

i believe there's a spam tool - something like that in some e-mail accounts and you just have to activate it. When you received a spam mail, mark it as a spam and the tool will automatically delete future spam mails from the marked ones..
