always getting unwanted email

by mike (from canada) . Updated 24 years, 3 months ago

I check my mailbox everyday and notice that there are messages at least once every two days from either addresses containing hotmail.com or yahoo.com. None of these emails are from my friends. and all these emails contain at least one numerical digit. Some contain the subject “Get a free website” and other subjects might include “Make money from home” and things like that. I find this annoying and I did not sign up for ALL of these services. In fact, I didnt sign up for any service which has a user containing this email address.

Is there any way I can end this unwanted mail other than deleting it every day? I dont want to block it because that would slow down email processing and as more spam (unwanted mail) comes, I have to block more which means slower mail!
