Besides deleting their E Mails can other positive steps be taken so that ISP servers can possibly close down their access to the web and other peoples e Mail accounts?

you can just block the emails using your spam mail filter.
or you can keep complaining to your ISP or email company and demand they take a look at the mail servers and look in the root folders of the mail servers for.eml not addressed to anyone with a registered email account name.
having been running my home mail server for a few weeks now i find that with a great spam filter on the server and the catch all mail address on the server missing or left blank. you can stop your mail server being infested with these scams. but that is just my experiance.
however if we had the will we should just block nigeria from accessing the web as a whole as well as spain as it was reported that most spanish based computers were spam mail servers allegedly unknowingly by the users. so if everyone who has a computer or server simply went and did a search for.eml on there computers, read and delete all of them back up any that you think are vital to a DVD or CD or better still a printout. now once all the email files are removed from the net, we can all start again.
but to be honest in my opinion the spammers are what the nuclear bomb was made for! infact that may be a little extreme as that may wipe out half of nigera, and not everyone in nigeria is responsible for the spam. so may be a little targeted special forces raid on the servers HQ to blow up the computers they are using, and to shoot the spammers.
again just my thought. locking them up will cost money. why pay to keep em locked up when for a third of the cost you can terminate with lethal force.

Don't answer their damned e-mails! You'd have to be living in a cave (in which case, it's unlikely you'd have a computer) not to know this is bogus by now. As the immortal W.C. Fields so aptly put it, "You can't cheat an honest man"!

I think the best thing you can do, if only for your own satisfaction is what mr_mo posted a link to. If you have time, you should all do this, eventually they'll get the hint!

Anyone who's dumb enough to fall for their scam deserves to have their money stolen. Get a spam blocker and don't worry about it.

Just flag them as spam and don't read them. You can't stop them because blocking their address won't help as they keep using different addresses.
