As far as the spam filter I run Zonealarm and it automatically shifts all the spam into a junk folder. If it misses one or two I just move them into it and it adapts to catch them in future.
With my previous provider I was absolutely inundated with these types of posts, plus hundreds of returned e-mails which I had allegedly sent.
I voted with my feet and now no viagra adverts and no spam. If you cannot resolve this issue, then I can recommend my current provider.

This might not be the most convienant option, but I was pulling my hair out trying to resolve it and got nowhere.As John says there are quite a few Internet Service Providers that will filter for you so most of the rubbish has gone - or you can buy email filtering software (- which is deceptively simple to set up) but there is currently no way to stop spammers attempting to send you their rubbish.
I have no idea of how many spurious posts per day the author is getting but in my case it was well in excess of 150, and there is no way you could use a junk mail filter because as some clever folks on this thread have already pointed out, each addres is different. [email protected] compared to [email protected] and the last part being our correct email address, so you could not block joe.bloggs.co.uk. Reading, or vetting every single post before opening them really defeats the object 150 plus posts is way too many to read and eventually I only found one successful option.Outlook 2003 onwards, use the junk mail filter, and block all senders who you have not sent to, and have not explicitly allowed. Remember to check trough your junk mail folder once a day. All that will get delivered to your inbox is "real" email. And if you have outlook, this is free.
I'm sorry for being a bit slow and for hogging this thread but if your e-mail address is @joe.bloggs.co.uk then surely you cannot block this address?The Junk Filter in Outlook (2003 - onwards) only allows senders who are known to you, that you have authorised, to place messages in the inbox, therefore is a very effective solution to this problem - Everything that you do no specify as spam is treated as such, and whilst this entails some manual effort at the begining, over a period of time, it builds up an (exportable) list of known good addresses.....
I've had the same email address for 8 years, which is used on about 10 different forums, my website, business cards, etc. I get about 200+ spam messages per day, in additionto maybe 20-30 real messages, of which half are filtered by my mail server, the rest by outlook. - I simply check the Junk mail folder at the begining and end of each day to ensure that I've not missed anything imprtant ( like a new customer).....
I have used the latest version of Outlook Express and trust me, it made no difference,
