Mmm this means that email goes via Blue first, are they trustworthy ?

You report the email to them and I assume it gets flagged if it comes back again.

A prompt in gmail/hotmail come up when you using it.

Mmmm all seems a bit to reliant on a user submitting stuff.

Like I said mailwasher is good, I rarely use outlook now, gmail is pretty good on spam.

Also, I sometimes lookup the whois record if the email address is connected to a website address (i.e. not @hotmail.com or @yahoo.co.uk etc etc) - usually this is when someone is trying to sell you something - I then report them to their hosting company.

Your last name isn't Canute is it? You would be better standing on the beach and telling the tide not to come in than try to stop spam by reporting people to their hosting companies. While it may make you feel better it is a fruitless effort.

Hi

Actually I have had success with this in the past, the hosting company asked for the email I received with full headers and I believe they followed up my query. I use spamarrest so I get very infrequent spam reaching me anyway and when I do I know it has come from a real email address as it would not varify otherwise in the spam filter.
