this website thirdparty something is blowing up my email account. I tried using their emails to unscribe around 10 times and ive sent them a ton of nasty messages
How do i get a spam email address to stop emailing me?
Uh, I used to make that mistake. When it's pure spam, do NOT try to Unsubscribe -- that just tells them the address is valid, and, as you can see, makes them spam you harder.
You can't stop them.
Send it to trash or to your Spam folder.
Over time, the flow will slow down, if you stop replying and unsubscribing.
Report it to your email provider, too.
Reply:Depends on your email provider. You can either send to spam (some providers have a permanently) or report them to your provider and they should automatically cycle to bulk mail.
Reply:Bounce it and it will say your e-mail is invalid. Report it!
Reply:How to fight spam and scams:
#1: Yahoo has a spamguard filter, but only if multiple users report an address as spam will it be treated as such by the filter.
You have a personal list for blocking addresses in spam options. Anything you mark as spam in Mail classic will be added to that list, in New Yahoo mail adding addresses to the list has to be done manually. If you ever receive anything from those addresses in the future, it will be deleted automatically, you won't even notice when you got some more crap from them. One problem though: the list of blocked addresses is limited to 500 and spammers often change their address. So you must sometimes delete some of the older blocked addresses to make room for new ones.

#2: The Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) is supposed to help you eliminate spam mails. Forward spam to: spam@uce.gov, in the subject line enter something like "unsubscribe link results in more spam", "unwanted spam message", "no unsubscribe link" or something similar.
When the FTC gets your mail, they will look into the matter and when they find out who the spamming source is, they will take legal actions.

#3: Check Mailwasher, it helps to eliminate spam from your inbox...
Set up your email account(s) in MailWasher and hit the "Check Mail" button. It then downloads all new message headers and displays message details alongside each one (priority, subject, from, to, etc.). Any email that MailWasher considers to be spam is highlighted for easy sorting.
Two checkboxes are located next to each message header: "Delete" and "Bounce". If you click "Delete" the email will be marked for deletion, click "Bounce" and the mail will be marked for bouncing - a fake "address not found" email will be sent to the sender. Once you have decided what to bounce and delete, click "Process Mail" to get it done and your mail client launched for downloading all accepted emails.
MailWasher has a "blacklist" and a "friends list" to enter good and bad email addresses. Addresses in the blacklist are marked for deletion, and addresses in the friends list will be marked as okay. Filters can be set to increase MailWasher's effectiveness. You can have email addressed to "undisclosed recipients" automatically deleted and bounced for example.
Note: the program is free but limited to one email account. MW Pro supports multiple mail accounts.

Reply:It's best to use Outlook because they have good spam filters.
I have a hotmail account and keep getting Spam from the same people but they just change their email addresses like third-area@hotmail.com and lao.ke@163.com %26amp; keep getting it through.
Hotmail and Yahoo are hopeless. With Gmail though, you can get free POP for Outlook.
