    The best way is to use a filter. Just type a couple of the inappropriate words from the email. Click where the words are from. (subject line, address, or body) Click where to send the emails to. (I send it directly to the trash.) Just make sure the words you type into the filter are words that only come in those emails. For example, dont do the word "the", because most emails will have it and then they will all get sent to the trash.

    I don't know what the _____ is, so I'm assuming it's pornographic. Look at the bottom of their emails. It's against the law to send you emails wherein you have not visited their website, and they must by law provide you a way to "unsubscribe". So find that tiny print and go to the "unsubscribe" and unsubscribe. They "must" remove you. Apparently your email got on a list (maybe even from posting it on a forum or something) and they sold the list of emails.

    So unsubscribe to several and fewer should be arriving. When you unsubscribe on their email be sure to copy the offender's address, phone number and email so that if they persist you can turn them in to the FTC.

    Eventually they will slow down and the balance of them you can block.

    I don't know what the ____ is, but did you ever answer one of these trying to unsubscribe, or something like that? If you did, they now have your actual address, where before all they had was a series of letters. Keep hitting the spam button without opening any of them. We all get them.
