Do you use the email address for anything at all? If not why not just set up a list of emails you can accept and the rest gets deleted.

is it hotmail account? msot spam ends up in junk folder anyway if u use that.
and if you got good anti virus protection, go to it and well with mine i can stop spam by blocking email accounts and every time i get a spam from someone, i block there email address. so its gettin shorter and shorter by the email

Spam sux. I would suggest looking for an email client that has junk filters or an addin that filters junk mail for your current email client. Stopping a spammer is damn difficult. Most things that you do only make the problem worse.

That is becuase your domain is unprotected right? I get alot of spam email but I import my @techtabs and @lostgurus.com mail to my Gmail which just sends it to the spam area.

Ehh it might be called something different from your domain provider, but what it means is people can get your email addy easier. Just import your mail to something with a spam blocker.
