You can get rid of spam in your inbox by (1) blacklisting or (2) filtering. A blacklisted mail will be deleted and never enter your inbox whereas a filtered mail can be put into another folder which you named (e.g. you may put all mail from HKU colleagues into a folder called HKU-mail). To blacklist an email, select it in the mailbox and then click the Blacklist link on top. The system will put the blacklisted email address in your filter rules.

I keep receiving the same messages from my ISP and the Event log shows it being repeatedly sent and received

Your blacklist is effectively the opposite of your whitelist--it lets you specify that mail coming from specific senders (or entire domains) should never be delivered to you, under any circumstances. Senders on this list will be blocked, regardless of the content of their mail. We encourage you to only use whitelists and blacklists as a last resort since doing so will bypass the "learning" component of the PostGuard filter.

Into the Blacklist go email address and site users that receive 3 cautions. The Blacklist is shared with other Webmasters, and the blacklisted user will also be deleted by other services.

There are several Internet organizations, possibly most prominently MAPS, who maintain lists of IP addresses that are known in some way to support spammers (having open relays, hosting Web sites, distributing marketing spamming software, etc.). If you operate a mail server, usually there is something in its configuration (e.g., Sendmail's rulesets) which can consult these lists, called "blacklists" or "blocklists," in an automated way when receiving a piece of mail.

There isn't credit 'blacklist'. The credit file held on you by credit reference agencies contains certain factual information that might improve or reduce your chances of getting credit. The credit reference agencies don't tell or advise lenders who they should and shouldn't lend to.

Email address and site users with 3 cautions are blacklisted. The Email address can no longer be used for registration and the site can no longer be registered. The Blacklist is exchanged with other Webmasters, and the user, is also deleted by other services. Those site are black listed which cause a dialer download automatically.

Never respond to unsolicited email. To those who send spam, one response or "hit" from thousands of emails is enough to justify the practice. Additionally, it validates your email address as active, which makes it more valuable, and therefore opens the door to more spam. Never send your personal information (credit card numbers, passwords, etc.) in an email. Spammers can fake the format of Yahoo! and other trusted sites.

Some people think crossposting is "bad". In and of itself, it's good behavior - it allows you to reach more groups with less impact on the net, especially if you set the "Followup-to:" header to one group.
