Providing you know how to 'show all headers' on the mail, just copy & paste and let the auto system do all the work.

Assuming they are using the same e-mail addresse(s), why don't you just 'block the sender' & you won't receive any more from them.

Spammer dont use the same e.mail address. thats the problem, they get round it by rotating/manipulating a series of mail accounts, using different coding/numbers etc, so it,s very difficult to block them...example: when you recieve spam right click on the subject, then click on properties, then click on details, on a normal friendly mail, it will be the same, on a spammers mail, you wuill see a big difference, they will be using a series of letters/numbers etc, that bear no resemblance to the sender, try using mail washer, then when you d/load your mail thru it, you can bounce back all the spam from where it came, it acts like a filter, there is a link in misc section/Lizards locker, in fact there is a few links to various mail blockers..

Nice in theory Lizard except as we both know those email addys are not the spammers address just addys of innocents that have been hijacked

Bouncing emails just clogs the system and gets valid email users blacklisted

Explains why over 1 in 5 emails never reach their destination
