    The best thing to do is sign up for a Googlemail account. I have had one for years, back before they changed from Gmail to Googlemail.

    Gmail (I will call it) allows you to setup filters to block specific senders and report spam inside the mailbox, it has the best Spam filter I know of.

    Sign up, get a Google Account and have a look, for me it's miles better than any other service.

    Any questions, don't hesitate to PM me.
