Complain to the sender's Internet service provider. Most providers want to stop spam more than you do. Again, make sure to include a copy of the message and header information and state that you're complaining about spam and the provider's lack of email security.

Finally, if spam is really bad, create a new personal email address for yourself, tell everyone about the new address. Send them several reminders that you are changing email addresses then delete the old personal email address. This may seem a little drastic, but if you receive 200 spam emails a day, it might be time to time this final step to eradicate it.

Get educated about how to battle spam and you can win the war. You are the first line of defense. Be careful who you give your email address to as they may sell it or rent it to people you do not want emailing you. This alone will reduce the number of spam emails you need to deal with.
