I am getting sexually explicit offers to buy products. Where can I report this? How can I prevent it's return?

There are few things you can do, none of which is guaranteed & all of which are a pain in the butt.

1)Setup filters in your email client.

2) Trace the email through the headers to find the unsecured relay & report it to the server owner. I've been lucky enough to have a few closed.

3) Create a new email address & abandon the current one. That's probably the easiest & best idea.

How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

Thanks for your reply. I think coming up with a new e-name AGAIN will be easiest, like you say!

You could also ask your ISP to enable a spam filter , most do.
