Somehow, I don't know how, I have started to receieve about 20 emails per day of an extremely disgusting nature. I am adding all of them to my blocked senders list in outlook, and my filter is realising they are all junk, but there must be a better way to eliminate this in one go.
In all my years online I have never come across anything so disgusting, and have certainly never signed up for this. It does appear to be some sort of sick on line community or mailing list. How can I get rid of it? Any tips?

The easiest solution is to change your e-mail address or have more than 1 address. You keep the new address for important contacts and family.
Allyourbase, if it is of a pornographic nature or Child pornography, then you can inform the Met Police about it. Sadly, they can only do something about it if the email address is UK based.
I have a similar problem at the moment with different mails advertising stocks and share etc....its getting on my nerves, but all i can do is send to junk box and delete.
Alternatively, email programs such as Incredimail have the facility to bounce the mail back to the sender with the hope that they thenget fed up of receiving their own junk mail that they then remove your name from their list.
Also, try not to open any emails that are from people you dont know - not just for the obvious virus reasons, but if you click on a link by mistake, then web address highlights you as a live customer - hence all the following junk mail.

hope it helps
