I have tried replying to the e-mail and it comes back as undeliverable. These e-mails are full of profanity and sexual content. I never subscribed to this. Is there a way to report this problem to someone who can do something about it?

Forward the e mail as an attachment(click the arrow on the forward button and a drop down will appear) and send it to Spam@uce.gov.They will enter it into their shared law enforcemnt database.You can also display your full internet headers by modifying your mail options.Once you do that you can get the IP address.Enter that number into Whois and that will tell you who the carrier is.

Then do a search for "reportabuse@" and the name of the carrier that comes up.E mail me if you're having trouble.
If you've already reported it as spam but don't want it in your bulk folder,these are really your only options.Most spammers forge their e mail addresses but cannot change their IP address.
Not posting an unsubscribe link is a violation of the 2003 CANSPAM act and is a federal offense.All of this stuff works.I go days without ever even having to empty my bulk folder.

i like lencow's answer. i imagine horoscopes are way too accepted to really be some thing except leisure. often times a prediction would in good condition because there are accepted component indicators for each signal, and those would 'hit living house' on particular persons. authentic astrology is way diverse from horoscopes because it takes an complete chart into interest, together with the homes and planetary factors. playstation : do not go away that chum fantastic!

Most mail services allow you to report an Email as "spam" or just block the address so it won't bother you again.
Just look it up in the service you use.

You can flag the address the spam and it will no longer go to your inbox, but rather your bulk/spam mailbox. DO NOT try and reply to it to be taken off their list, that just lets them know that the email address is a legitimate one and they will send even more. Believe me, I did it a long time ago and regretted it. I think the people that send them, get paid for how many get sent to legit addresses, that is why they end up sending tons more after you reply to them.

You should have some kind of Spam blocker on the harddrive. You can purchase it at Best Buy. Also, Most internet services providers offer up grades and things to stop that.
