email question

Since about Christmas or just before, I seem to have started getting some really annoying spam emails. They begin with a square of text that looks a bit like a till receipt from a store or something. Thing is, they all arrive from a different address, and some have a spam heading and some do not. Has anyone else been plagued with these? How can I stop it? Can they be reported or something? They're driving me mad, as they come about 6 or 7 at a time!!!!

Well seeing as how I will be the first to respond...

Your first action should be to put each of the addresses on your spam filter. That way, you can stop them from using that same address to spam you.

Second, I would contact customer support. Ask them about it, what to do, etc.

Third, identify the source of the spam. Did you give out your email to a fansite or something? Did you cancel a subscription to something (they'll sell your pesonal information)?

Fourth, change your email if it gets so unbearable that you cannot stand it anymore.
