This may not be a solution, but it is a panacea. If you are using M$ Outlook as your email program you can download a patch for it (an inbox assistant) which allows you to deal with known incoming email. Exchange Server has it built in, but the clients that you and I use don't. You can set up rules which can be triggered to simply delete email from unwanted senders, or to delete emails with certain words in the subject field or any one of a number of other criteria.

You can find it for Outlook 97 at http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/downloadDetails/ruleswiz.htm?FinishURL=/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=18098&redirect=no.

I bet Netscape, Pegasus Mail and the others have something similar.

Alternately, you can learn how to flame (send huge amounts of unwanted and meaningless emails over a period of time) an email address, but that can get you into trouble with the Man!
