    Okay usually i hardly ever get spam but for about a week now i've been getting like 10-15 a day. I don't think i've signed up to any dodgy site lately. Is there anything i can do to make it stop?

    Yeah, depending on what service you are using you can setup email filters to block or allow from keywords, domains, address', etc. There should be plenty of spam options you can configure, take a look around, or tell us what provider or application you are using and I can digg around.

    What's your mail client? If you're using webmail, you'll just have to rely on reporting them as spam, but if you've got a POP3 mailbox, you could try addon software that'll filter spam in your inbox.

    This is a pretty damn comprehensive list of available options, most of which will plugin to Windows Mail / Outlook Express / Outlook.

    Check out the long post from jmatt a couple down.

    I've tested a few aand I personally use Magic Mail Monitor after finding that list (which doesn't necessarily do any spam filtering, but can) as I have my own domain and run SpamAssassin on the server, which does the job for me.
