Depends on your ISP, doyou have a "control panel" where you can block e-mail from a particular address? Otherwise you could ask your ISP to block these mails on your behalf. Also, don't delete the mails, just archive them to another folder and complain bitterly!

NR - as always good advice - thanks very much

The emails are doing my head in - especially as I did not ask for the information in the first place!

Download a program like Mailwasher and set them on your blacklist, and then it should bounce mails from them.

Contact the RBL with all the details, and that domain will get placed on a balck list and then they're doomed!
