Spam can be generated by visiting a web site which will leave a cookie on your machine. This is like a tag that will enable a spammer to send you junk because they know your ip address. I have found that I do not get as much spam simply by cleaning out my cookies.
From my computer select the C drive. You will see a series of folders. Select the one marked windows. The first folder to be cleaned is the Temporary Internet folder. Open this up and delete everyting inside. Once you have done this, go to the Cookies folder. Delete everything inside (You might want to keep some cookies which apply to your favourate sites and Yahoo groups, but these can always be recovered later.).
A word of warning, a certain on line auction site is a very cookie rich environment. Hackers and spammers paradice. Clean out the folders I have mentioned regularly, but especially after visiting this site.
Remember to empty your recycle bin.
This should help

Block mail from Sebastian Foss.

Why don't you put him on your black list & block his email addy. Or go a step further & just block his domain. Though if he is a spammer, it probably is impossible to block every email addy since they use disposable ones. In that case you need to rely on a spam blocker like in yahoo mail (just keep clicking on the spam button, yahoo will get the point sooner or later) or a commercial one for your pc mail application.

the only way to stop from this kind of spam is to notify the address as a SPAM and thus in future all the emails of such address will only go to spam folder and you can ignore it.
Or you could report to your service provider if its a pop mail or if you have paid for such email service.

Block all mail containing his name - just blocking mail with the word Foss should do the trick - highly uncommon name, I believe...

1) Reply his mail with SUBJECT Unsubscribe and send this mail.
2) Add the email address in the block list

yep all of the above.... plus you can send an email to the domain which has his id and tell them that he is a spammer...
there are certain hacking programs which can send email anonymously so use filters in your emai lprogram and direct it as spam...
