Getting bombarded with spam, any solution?

[Deep]

Hi
A few weeks back I got a warning notification from Experian telling me that my email was found for sale.
I didn't think too much of it because I've always received a bit of spam here and there and so assumed by email was available out there.

Since then I'm being absolutely bombarded with spam emails, loans, casinos, so called missed deliveries from DPD etc etc.

I've been reporting and blocking them but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Is there any solution to this? It's driving me crazy!

Who is your email provider?

Gmail?
Yahoo?
Hotmail?
Hosted own-domain server (your own host)? i.e. your.business.com

Hotmail

forward your hotmail to another email service with better spam filtering.

I assume hotmail and outlook.com share the same spam filtering which is patchy at best, lots of false positives. I find gmail to be better.

If you are attached to your email address then forwarding through Gmail will help immeasurably. Otherwise, see if you can get [e-mail] and move over.

Its amazing how easy it is to relocate to a new address. You just set up forwarders on your hotmail account

Gmails spam filtering is excellent. It does, rarely, catch the odd false positive (ask me how I lost a pair of Glasto tickets...) but overall it great.
