Spamcop also has an email address (need to be a member) that you use for everyday use. When you get email, spamcop holds the email and sends back a response that requires the sender to acknowledge they sent the email (for spam this will usally bounce). Once the sender acknowledges the email, the held email and all future email from that sender is passed through to your personal pop email account. Other filters can apply as well.

Neat system but requires more management.

re: zone alarm letters, I asked the same question - see this thread.

For spamcop, (one way of several) you just copy the email header and text into a text box at spamcop and they process the info and respond with a list of email address to send a spam report to. They do the emailing and reporting.

Going one step further, how about if you are being pinged by an address?

I always attach the letter/zone alarms info, but how should I start the letter?

Thanks.

If you are interested, IM me and I will give you the address.

I keep several e-mail addresses. If I need to give an address to someone that I think will result in spam, I give 'em my hotmail address or AV address. For more trusted sites (such as this fine body of fellows speed-addicts and otherwise sleep derived (depraved?) individuals) I give one of my "important and highly valued" POP3 e-mail addresses. I reserve my most cherished POP3 address only for close friends and families. Unfortunately, once a spammer has your address, it is hard to stop it from spreading like the plague. The only way I was able to get to this state is to start with a new ISP (which I did when I got my cable modem service installed).

Too bad my state only has a spam law covering offensive (sexual) material. Now I'll have to wait a week to see if I get another email from myfamily.com.
Hopefully this will end soon, I been trying to use the unsubscribe link for 3 months now.

I think that spam is like the cockroaches I once had in an apartment- you will never kill them all so you can't win the war but you can still engage the enemy and keep them from advancing :-)

I had never heard of spamcop.com before.
I have a few spammers that won't take me off their lists.

Cool!

If you didn't ask for the email, then it's unsolicited and can be treated as such. Report them to their provider and hosting service. I've used SpamCop in the past with good results and the service is free.

I think that'll have the desired effect. Be sure you mention all of the efforts you've made to get off of the mailing list. Be very clear that at this point you consider it SPAM and not solicited email.

Now I want to be removed from their email. I have clicked the link (in the email) to their unsubscribe link atleast 5 times and I still recieve email from them. I have went to their web site and tried the unsubscribe link. Still recieve their stupid email. I went on their website and tried the webpage contact form with no luck. I wrote an email to abuse@myfamily.com, a week, later still getting email.
I have tried to get removed from their email list many times and I don't want to filter them, I just want them to stop.
The question I have is who is the host for this site?
I'm confused by this. Is it Sprintlink.net, Navisite.net or someone else.
Here is the email header:
