Getting huge numbers of scam e-mails, most from same domain, any way to stop them?

It seems that one of my e-mail addresses has been compromised, happily not my main one. I'm getting large numbers of scam e-mails, mainly from an address with sysprem as the domain.

They are ostensibly offering free gift cards from Morrisons/Tesco/Amazon/etc for surveys, diet advice (flat belly - how do they know? :p), personal services (Asian brides, hot Russian babes, etc).

Many are already marked as spam, and I dutifully mark the others as spam. Virgin Media are learning, and a higher proportion are now marked as spam. But they end up in my inbox rather than in spam.

It's getting tedious. Is there anything I can do to stop this? Unsubscribing is a no-no as it just confirms a live address. Thanks for your suggestions.
