How can I stop receiving Spam email that comes from a different email address every time?

My business website receives one of these same emails about every half hour or so, regularly. It comes from a different email address every time, but it’s the same email advertising the same thing. There’s no “unsubscribe” option.
Is there any way I can stop this? It’s getting really ridiculous.

I don’t know, but I would love to. I get one from somewhere in my personal e-mail. I get about 5 a day. Let me know when you find out.

First thing, do not open them. Then they know you are a live address and you get bombarded.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do now except change your email address or just keep deleting them. DO NOT OPEN THEM!

Click options on your home page, you can go to spam and follow the directions to spam mail. I have them delivered to my bulk file, check them to make sure an address I want isn’t with them, then delete them. I used to spam them, but if it bounces back to them, I think they still know it’s active address.

Somewhere, somehow while you were surfing the web or gave someone on the web your email address, it got snatched up. Sometimes all you have to do is open an advertisement and they’ve got you. Be careful on the web.

Yahoo allows you to have an extra account also. GOOD LUCK!
