Ok i have this really big problem or should i say problems.

Problem 1-Ok some retarted jerk entered my gmail address into a pron database and its send me over 50 emails a day with link to porn and other stupid stuff like Find your mate and stuff like that and i was wondering if there was a way that i can make it to where i only recive emails from @gmail.com,@hotmail.com,@yahoo.com,@rogers.com,@aol.com,@shaw.ca.

Problem 2-I have been gettin lots of emails to my gmail with the sender's name is called unknown sender and the subject is unknown subject. is there a way to automatically make it to where it sends email with out a sender and a subject to either my spam folder or my trash can.

Problem 3-This is accutally about my hotmail account i got a email form someone and it looked sort of like this

OK whats the adress to the gmail thing ur talking about and what should i tell them .

You can first select the specific e-mail(s) and press "Report Spam". If it doesn't help after a few days contact them at Gmail Support.

how about telling what you said here?

ok i ll do the spam thing then if it dont work ill contact them

Some arse has put my address in one of those databases ages ago I think cos I get about 50 a day aswell. This is on my hotmail account and when I report it they don't do anything

Well, as for the (Unknown Sender) and (Unknown Subject), or whatever it displays to you, you can set Gmail to filter these messages immediately to the trash can and probably report them as spam.

As for the porn database,  Do the same thing for that, go through the emails and block the entire domain if you must.

As for the Virus Control scanned email on your hotmail, seems quite strange, ill take a look at it on my "Virus Room" partition if you like.  (This partition I use only for testing potentially dangerous viruses)

tip: if you put your email address on the net like you do, of course you are going to get much spam in your boxes... it is never a good idea to put your email like that on public if you can't defend yourself against the spam....


About the email you got with the attachment. That's a normal virus that has infected someone who knows you and has your msn email on their computer... Delete the mail and do not open/run the attachment!

Ok thanks every and i didn't think people on the fourms would be stupid enoguh to spam a fellow poster.

well ok that really sucks but who cares once i get my first invite iam makeing my self a new gmail account.

The spammers don't have to necessarily be members on this forum..there are also 103+/- guests viewing the forums right now too.

Like Cookie said, don't go spreading your email on the internet if you don't want spam. It's simply that simple, don't give out your email to people you don't know and spam won't reach you..as..much..

I have a separate address which I dont put out on the web, and that's the spammed account. Some sutpid person that hates me probably did it, anyway to sotpt hem considering hotmail do absolutely nothing to help their users on thigns like this?

If you really have to put your email on the internet then instead of the @ sign, do as they do on mess.be and put this picture: . That way, the machines that scan the web won't pick it up.
