Whoever solves the spam problem should be nominated for a Nobel Prize. You don’t have to forward them; you can just delete them. Forwarding them helps kill the evil websites, but it won’t stop the spam.


There are 3rd party apps that can filter spam, with varying degrees of effectiveness.

Of course they will keep coming; 60% of all email is spam. You can try email spam blocking apps, which will help somewhat, but there is no way to block spam. the point of forwarding is to take down the bogus sites that the email links to; it won’t stop the spam from coming.


There is no reason not to send spam; if even 0.001% of the spam results in revenue you are still making a good return on investment.
