    Recently been getting loads of what looks like spam and I mean loads. Most of them are related to car finance claims or cloud storage account bans. Most seem to have come from newsletter accounts but all their addresses are diferrent. I have reported most if not all but they still keep coming. I have emails back from what looks like my provider recognising a number that have been reported but they dont look legit. Anybody know how to resolve this without closing my email account?

    can’t you just block the accounts that keep sending emails?

    Can you filter out the spam using key words in the email headers? I'm guessing that a lot of them will have similar words or phrases?

    Apparrently that is problematic. If they are not legit and are phishing unsubscribing just confirms your account is live. These are not newsletters that I have knowingly signed up for.
