Can I report someone for spamming and who to?

Question

I have received the same email for 3 weeks now - each day it comes from a different 'person'. There is no 'unsubscribe' link and all emails to them bounce back.

Answer 1

You can try and contact your ISP if the mail is being sent to your ISP mail account. They take spammers very seriously and will do whatever they can to prevent it as it fills up their mail servers.

The easiest way around spamming is to set up a second free webmail account (with the likes of Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail etc) and if your signing up to something that your unsure of, use this second account. It will keep your main email free for official content

Hope this helps, and a Happy New Year to you all =)

Unfortunately you can't report spammers, spam is one of the biggest pains of the internet and the one thing you shouldn't do is to reply to a spam even to unsubscribe (if you thing about it you didn't subscribe in the first place so why should you have to unsubscribe) message it only lets the spammer know your email address is live and you'll get even more spam and unfortunately once you start getting spam you can't stop it.
As for the bouncing email spammers use spoofed email addresses which don't exist to make it hard to trace them remember DON'T REPLY TO SPAM NO MATTER HOW TEMPTING IT IS the only thing you can do is to use a spam filter a good one that's free for private use is mailwasher you can get it free http://www.mailwasher.net/

Unfortunately, you can't. And if you could, it would be useless: within a day, they change their server and everything it to be re-done.
I was requested to set-up a system of numerous servers (40 PCs running Linux) to send between 10 and 20 MILLIONS emails PER DAY! (some real addresses from a DB, others being created using various algorhythms).
Generated addresses that have a "hit" (that is, are "responded to" by the user) are automatically transferred to "real addresses" DB, and these lists of hits are SOLD to whoever wants to buy it... for more spam.
THAT is what spammers are... These servers are pretty well made: they SEND only! They can't receive! So you can't send them a self-destruct virus... :-(( I wish!)
I refused, but another engineer did it...

Answer 4

do not write back spammers. This tells the computer you're a real person and it spawns more spam emails. And I don't know how to stop it. If you find out, tell me.

Answer 5

best method have more than 1 e-mail addy. do not use outlook mail. do use hotmail or yahoo mail as both have really good spam filters. i suggest using 1 e-mail account whenever you fill out anything on the web and another one that you only give to your friends but when you give it to your friends tell them that you do not want them to recommend anything they see on the web using your e-mail. tell them that if they just have to show you a site to c&p the url to you. if you have a friend you can't trust to do the preceding give them the spam e-mail addy.

Answer 6

Yes, i'd like to know too, I get anything up to 5 mails a day from spammers they are a pain in the rear, nothing seems to work to stop them.... & yes i've tried blocking the user, ip addresses - everything with 0 results

Answer 7

Beside investing in an e-mail filter or setting up Outlook to filter keywords you can report the abusers by forwarding their messages to the hosts abuse centre

eg. [e-mail], [e-mail], [e-mail]

there are thousands being reported so you won't get a personal reply.
