How many times do you have to spam people before their junk mail stops coming to you?

I have been spamming adult filth from my inbox for months, but it keeps on coming. Anyone else have this problem? How long does it take to stop it?!

    I don't think it ever stops coming. I have slowed mine down quite a bit but it took months of using the spam feature. I think that they are selling email addresses to one another

    First, stop visiting the porn websites or giving them your address. That should reduce the number of new ones coming...(or via your son, daughter, spouse, brother, sister, etc).

    Try a different email address from a different source. Google, hotmail, yahoo, all have different spam blocking options. Learn how they work and use them.

    Generally, don't ever respond to spam, and most email carriers offer the option of blocking addresses, and sending them to the junk box. Send EVERY spam you get to the junk box as it arrives.

    Use a reputable spyware blocker as well, for good measure, to prevent any damage to your personal privacy. Spammers are out there all the time looking for you, and a few always seem to find their way in.

    It will never stop coming. Most of the time they don't even receive your "remove" request because they use somebody else's return address on the email.

    if you want this to stop. go to mail option and block the email or domain. that way you will not recieve further emails from them.
