prescription meds, or stocks…. none of these are things that I am interested in, I spam them every time yet they keep coming. I have gone on the sites and done the removal thing, but I just get the same thing from a different (but looks to be related) site. I got one this morning that said “Your penis is like a toy, penis enlargement is the answer” What if my kids were to see it?? Any ideas how to get these to stop??

I guess your just gonna have to buy what they’re selling……
Download a spam filter, and link it with your e-mail address. Everytime you receive an e-mail from a spammer, add them to your blacklist. Eventually you’ll start receiving less and less spam. Think you could give me the link for the penis enhancement?
I wish that I knew, I’m so tired of all that type of spam hitting my mailbox!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, once you are on a spam mailing list it is next to impossible to get removed. You can create a new account. Below are some tips on Spam Avoidance.
Here are a few steps you can take.
1. Don’t open unsolicited Spam. Often what happens is that when you open up spam, it sends back a trigger to the originating source indicating that a valid email address has been found thus subjecting you to even more spam down the road.
2. Don’t use the Preview Pane for the same reasons as #1
3. Set you email options to accept mail from only people in your address book or safe lists.
4. Set some filters to automatically route spam to certain folders for easy deletion later.
5. Use a throwaway account for any online registrations you need such as news sites and contests, etc. Often these email addresses are sold to other places, particularly advertising firms. If the throwaway account gets over run, you can simply delete it and create another.
6. Use the BCC when composing emails and encourage your friends to do the same. What this does is protects mailing lists from email harvesters.
7. You can consider using a third party application such as SpamFighter (free version can only be used for 1 account and it is for Outlook and Outlook Express only) http://www.spamfighter.com/
8. Never reply to any spam email that you happen to open and receive for the same reason as #1 above.

First of all, DONT click on the links to unsubscribe or remove yourself from there service, you are most probably sending them more reasons to spam you – once they get a ‘hit’, or visit from your computer to their dodgy website, they may count that as you being a ‘live’ email address – and they may increase the amount of spam coming to you.
My advice – use Gmail. Their spam filter is second to none. It’s quick, easy to use, free, and you can apparently migrate your email service onto theirs.
They are what you call spam. Its not a legal mailing list so there is no real way to get off of it. If you have something like yahoo or another web mail account they usually have the option to turn on a junk mail ilter, if you have out look you can do the same thing,, you will still get the mail, but it will be diverted to a special junk mial folder so it dosent crowd your inbox. alternativly you can try to e-mail them back letting them know your penis is large enough already, bu then they might try top sell you penis shrinking pills.

Well I use gmail and when I see the same nonsense coming in my mail, I create a filter that deletes the message before it gets to my inbox. I don’t know what you have but you should either report it as spam or create a filter. If that doesn’t work get a gmail account.
Hope it helps!
Go into your Yahoo mail account.
Click options.
Click filters.
Set up a filter. This part is a bit more complicated.
If much of your spam comes from japanese domains (ending in .jp instead of .com), set up a filter that redirects “from” listings ending in “.jp” to trash.
If “penis” is in the subject line, set up a filter that redirects “subject” listings containing “penis” to trash.
Look for a commmon thread all your spam has that your real mail doesn’t. It might take 2 or 3 filters to actually catch everything, but one should help. Just occasionally look in trash to make sure you aren’t deleting legitimate mail.
Good luck.
You can not remove your name from the list. There is currently not a “No Call” list for e-mails. Best you can do is to make sure you have the Spam Filter turned on in your e-mail program (Check the helps).
Then each and every time you receive such an e-mail, mark it as Spam (or add it to the blocked list, depending on your email program). (Check the helps)
Over time, the programs Spam Filter will learn which items to block. As it does, the amount of Spam you receive will drop.
Unfortunately the “step by step” for doing this is different with each e-mail program. As you did not list the e-mail program or site, this is as specific as we can be.
actually once your e-mail is on a spammer email list you can do nothing, so I advice you to use 2 e-mails, one for public use ( and keep changing it every 6 months, the other one for private use,
Never use your private mail on any website, groups, news groups, never publish it o the net, because there are email spiders collecting any thing with ( @ )
It is the only solution I used and seems to work, after sex months I just make a new public email,
