The most effective way is to get another email address.
Or you can d/l MAILWASHER and it will help you control it.

Yep, I have to agree with Kubie. My wife and I both use MailWasher and it does help control the spam.

Also, don't publish your e-mail address or give it to websites, give it only to trusted people, and create another e-mail account for website registration and the like.

Try softhome.net as your web-based account. Its free and they send at the most, two ads a week but they are from more quality companies. No flashing ads or popups.

The way I stopped it was to only allow the E-Mail from address that I know, from family or mailing lists that I am on...
