Help Me With Spam

I have a comcast e-mail address and I seriously can't go 12 hours without finding at least five "Young Girlz 18 Below Horny Grandmothers" in my inbox. I click on the Report As Spam for every single one, day in and day out, and you would think comcast would simply log that IP addy and stop all e-mail from that IP, but no. It is beginning to drive me nuts.

Can anyone offer some advice?

I have Gmail and though it catches 99% of spam, a few messages always creep through that are CLEARLY spam. I always use the "Report Spam" button, but it doesn't seem to learn.

Any tips?

Thanks for the link.

Is there anything I can do to keep my primary email address as my comcast addy but still solve my spam problem?

there are plenty of spam blocking programs available.

there is mo excuse for such spam issues.

but perhaps you need to be told the basics.

1. HAVE 2 EMAILS. 1. personal use: only use this for communication. NEVER buy stuff with it or subscribe to anything with it. 2. commercial use. this is your "spam email" use it at Amazon, pokerstars, etc. Although this gets bombarded with spam, you rarely have a need to check it at all.

2. set your spam filter to at least MODERATE.

3. if it's stiill a big issue to you, you can buy a program that will send back a verification email to all imcoming emails, so that automated emails will, in this way, die.

Spam is good if you slice it real thin and fry it up in a skillet with some pancake syrup and put it on a nice piece of bread with some mayo and some american cheese...other than that I don't know what the hell you are talking about

You've got it all wrong. The way to cook spam is as follows:

Take a pot and fill it with water. Now but a brick into the water, together with the spam. Let it boil for about 10 minutes, then throw out the spam and eat the brick.

gmail learns great from "report spam". It's likely that although the spam is coming from the same person it's been altered to look like it comes from different places. You can set a filter to dump the crap straight to the trash if it comes from a certain name or has a certain title. For instance, any subject containing the words viagra or penis goes straight to my trash, I don't even have to look at it in the spam folder.

Nice elitist attitude (even better with the typo).

Only n00bs have two emails for this purpose.

Other advice is decent to good.
