I have this "friend", who forwards all these ridiculous e-mails to me. chain leters, stupid jokes, and most recently, anti-Mel Gibson mail (she is jewish). She has done this in the past. I have asked her nicely to stop, and she did, but now she has started again. I get ten to twenty a day?????
What would you do?

You should have the "Block Sender" capability somewhere in the Tools menu of your email programme. Click on that and this person will be "blacklisted" and all of their mail automatically deleted. I don't know whether the person will get a notification of being blocked, or not, but does that matter?
I've had to do this sometimes.

Just ask her again. Say "you know, as fun as they might be for you, i dont like these. I asked you before, but maybe my name got onto your mass email list again? Do you think you could look and make sure im not on there? i dont want to have to block your name but i really dont want all these fwds"
If shes really a friend i dont see why she wouldnt stop, but at least this way she will know that if she doesnt stop that you will block her.

Just remind her in a nice way that you really don't have room in your mailbox for all her forwards,. Then use an e-mail filter to take her forwarded mail to a different folder from your inbox.

I've been through this one before. I asked my friend to stop forwarding things to me and he wouldn't, so finally I blocked his address because it was getting out of hand. He'd call me and say, 'Hey, did you get such-and-such? I sent it to you yesterday.'
I just matter-of-factly told him, 'Sorry, but I had to block your email address because of all of the forwards, so I don't get anything you send to me now.'
I think he got the point, because about a week later, he called me to ask me to remove the block so he could send me something important, and I haven't gotten 'crap-mail' from him since.
It didn't damage our freindship, but we're pretty tight, so I don't know if this will work for you or not.
Good luck!

Ask her again if she could please stop sending those e-mails. If it doesn't work, ask her to delete your e-mailaddress from her addressbook, so she can't forget to skip you. If she wants to send you an e-mail then, she should type the address.

Ask her to stop again, and if she doesn't, tell her that you'll block her/mark her messages as spam.

State your wish one more time, if she does not get it one more time, delete and block her from you list. Problem solved!

change your email address, report spam, block address etc. I do not think you really want to stop her.
