For site that will send you gobs of junk use a temporary email instead.There is a filter on hotmail too.

There is no way to get rid of junk mail from your current Hotmail account forever.

Pepper has the right idea--the only way to never receive any spam in an account is to never register that account anywhere. That means you need to setup a new account.

Of the many free webmail sites I've tried, I've found Gmail's spam filtering to be the most effective. If you're going to get a new account, I suggest you get it with them.

Stop using e-mail. That's the ONLY way you'll get rid of it forever.

In Hotmail, set your junk mail filter to only pass mail from contacts in your address book. Of course, that will filter all new contacts so you'll have to check the junk mail folder frequently to recover any of those.

start again with email accounts
As for your hotmail, create a new one similar name and notify your contacts
go into google and search for delete hotmail account to delete your old one. any friends that try to send a mail to the old acc will get it bounced back, so they soon update your address. So send out a message from your new address to your contacts.
On your new account dont tick any of the services on the sales gimmick pop up.

Then create an extra email account with your ISP
create one for porn/ adult chat sites. (as long as your ISP has web base email)

only use that ISP email address for porn and chat sites and adultfriendfinder related sites as they on sell the address
when it starts getting heaps of junk because they onsold your email address, just delete it

But before you delete it you go to your porn/ adult chat sites and change the email address to another new one you create in the ISP
you will get confirmation emails in your old address,
then delete it.

sounds alot but you probably only have to delete it once a year.

and your hotmail will be junk free, as long as you dont buy viagra and stuff like that, you can keep your hotmail forever.

if you want to buy some penis enlargement, send it to your ISP address and use that one.

ermmm nope i dont think so just dont be putting your email address into websites that will send you crap or if you do unclikc the tick box (which should be there) that says will allow us to send you a weekly newletter ... etc so just junk them all and that should do it good or highlight them all and click junk
OORRRR you can make a new email address that will save the hassle

The bad comes with the good no matter how hard you try.
There has to be a worldwide ban with huge fines to make a difference.

Get a new hotmail address and don't give it out to sites you visit. Don't use it for game sites, etc. Use it for family and friends.

Why not ask Mr. 'Assumes Everybody Enjoys Porn' (a.k.a. chezzrob) which sites he visits, and then avoid them (sites) like the plague! ;) ;)
