The E-mail I am recieving is adult oriented, (singles type) of e-mail. But this has a twist, it is explicit, telling me to answer them on another return "flipside"e-mail address. Which I do not understand anyway.
Bottom line, this is unsolicited, I have children and I don't know what to do. I don't want my children to be subjected to this should they decide to play their games and get this e-mail. Please help me ! I need to block this smut, I am not computer freindly. So this is a shock to me. It started about 2 weeks ago and has been showing up everyday. There must be a way, I have already put a block on my 360 Yahoo profile against mature or explicit e-mail. Please understand I have never joined a singles club or signed up for services of this sort. This is very disturbing to me.

I'm not super computer savvy either, but if you mark it as 'spam' and don't open it, will it then stop coming?
