Can some one tell me about this site. They send me E-mails even though I am not subscribed to them and I want to stop them. They are persistent.
Have tried unsubscribing to them to no avail.

If you posted to the unsubscribe link, I'm afraid tha you just confirmed a "live" email address! Never, never, NEVER, respond to these messages. Your address will end up on yet another mailing list!

The only thing that anyone can do is filter their email.
I use Mailwasher, which is very effective. There are other applications for the job. A google search for "spam filters" should show some hits.

Oh shit!
what about ignoring it, such as deleting it and not opening it? will that work?
I have it blocked on Norton, but that stops me from contacting it, will that work?
I wish someone would nuke the b*******.

Well, it depends on who your ISP is on whether you can filter. If you use AOL, you're out of luck. Anything that downloads your mail to a client like Outlook or Eudora - use Mailwasher.

I use Pine client-side, and server-side I use SpamAssassin to eliminate spam. It also helps that I report spam-sending IPs to their ISPs and then point them to the disclaimer on the front page of tuxedojack.com.

Thank you for the replies.
I will look into the filtering aspect, but for now I have blocked it in Norton in the firewall so at least my computer cannot link up to it.
