Legally there is no current legislation preventing junk e-mail.  The most effective way to prevent it is to not give out any personal information online at all (unless absolutely neccesary through a trusted sight) and especially never your e-mail adress.  PLUS and this is a must, always always always mark your spam as spam.  report it to the e-mail server.  there should be a button to click when you open an e-mail that says flag as spam or report spam.  click it.  if you're getting a great deal of spam despite a spam blocker, report it to your e-mail provider.

There is no sureshot way of being able to filter or detect spam.\n\nIn Yahoo you could turn on the SpamGaurd (if its not already on) and allow all detected spam to go to your bulk mail folder. But even this does not ensure all spam will be removed.\n\nSincere advice: Try to avoid giving your email address(es) on websites that you do not completely trust.

keep checking bulk box see if any email from that person if so click on 'Not Spam" top of email page just above body of message. Also go to options and check your filters and block addresses make sure address not listed, if listed remove

You can ask all not to send you any emails :)\n\nBetter yet, have an automatic away for the holidays set up.\nSo if someone needs something, they can get it somewhere else. Also people will know not to expect a reply till you get back.

Set your spam filter on High, spam any that get through, and don't open any e-mail if you don't know exactly who it is from..That did it for me.

Well, stop posting your email addres to the internet like you did in the question!!!  It makes it very easy for spammers to harvest.\n\nSet up a filter in your email service that sends spam to a junk/bulk folder so you don't have to see it.  Most email software allows you set either set filters or block address/senders.

just click forward...and then delete what you do not want in the email\n(so delete the forwarding addresses and other information)

Buy and use a spam filter, or use the ones provided by your ISP to filter the spam into a Junk Mail folder. You can also use Outlook to create Rules to block by content--- go to the Help tool and search for Rules. You really can't stop them from coming--- once the spammers know your address is valid, there is not much you can do. The link below will tell you some good tips for not getting on those lists in the first place.

Create an email account and don't ever ever ever give that email to any website only to your family and friends/work.\n\nCreate another email address for when you need to enter addresses online.\n\nThis is the best way to stop spam in your main email account.

Use the REPORT SPAM button.  Your email service or email program (however you get your email) should have a spam guard feature.   Train it, and you will get your SPAM under control.\n\nIf you use eBay, then I recommend that you get a free email address at Yahoo for that purpose.  The Report Spam button is awesome for that purpose, and your real eBay activity won't WRECK your regular private e-mail. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

avoid responding many of forward mails such as \n"in 5 minutes send it 20 people" they are getting ur adress in that way so u are getting involved in spam mails.

I don't think you can, since they don't really make ways to bypass an extra security measure, but if it's extremely important, you can try contacting the email provider.

A spam or junk mail filter can be very useful for this.  I think most can be set to filter emails not listed among your contacts.  You would just have to be sure all known recipients were listed there so the filtering wouldn't catch them too.
