    Spam these messages or go and physically unsubscribe from them. After sometime they stop.

    STOP opening them! That is why you are continuing to get more of them, opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more. Treat them like the spam that they are. Check mark them and click on 'Spam,' this should stop those addresses from being delivered to your inbox.

    Use your spam guard and block address.

    Look for the 'Options' link at upper right corner of mail screen and click on it

    Options /mail options

    Click on 'spam' in the list on the left.

    Make sure spam guard is on, by checking in the little box.

    Then in 'Blocked Email Addresses,' enter the E-mail address you wish blocked, in the box after 'Add a blocked address' and click on the 'add' button, then click on save changes at top left of screen.

    You will never get mail from that address again.

    This should help you to control your spam.

    Other tips:

    Do not ever open E-mail from people you do not know; and unless you are absolutely sure who it is from then treat them as spam.

    Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more of it to you.

    Never, ever give out your account information or other personal information to anyone.

    If you are on a site and you absolutely have to sign up for something, check the entire page to make sure you uncheck any lines wanting to send you any other info, notices, catalogs, ads, and the like.

    Added detail:

    Yes, spammers change one item in their addresses a lot, so you might try blocking the entire domain, by putting in

    *@ thedomainyouwanttoblock.com

    for instance: *@seeyou.com

    Or, if they change the domain, instead of the company name you can block the name by putting in Imatheft_inc@*

    Hope this helps
