There are a number of ways to fight spam. Server side, Locally etc... What type of email account are you having this problem with? A free account? One affiliated with your hosting plan.

1. You might contact your email provider and ask them about filtering of junk email.
2. There are various programs that hookinto Outlook Express, Netscape to filter out unwanted mail...
3. Try looking for "Unsubscribe" Links in these emails you are receiving, You may deem them unsolicited but they could be as a result of you opting-in to third party email lists.

One thing that has been a bother on my end with spam is, Alot of these spammers are using unsubscribe links that DO NOT belong to them. So essentially you are unsubscribing to a list you were never enrolled in. One way i try to help turn the tide on unsolicited email is by using

http://www.spamcop.net

You can activate a FREE account with them. You simply paste in the header and body of the email and they have an automated system that will process the information, weed out the necessary attributes of the email. And even determine and send complaints to the People who host the website etc..

Another option which is much easier is they allow you to forward the emails to a special address which is alot easier than pasting into the window. check it out. But make sure the spam you submit is legit... You may think it spam but it may not qualify. Try the remove links for now and see if that decreases the amount of unsolicited mail you receive. Then try spamcop. You should probably read a little about mail-relays and things so that you can identify emails sent using open proxies and such.
