    Does anyone know how to completely block .RU spam so called news letters that i never signed up for I keep getting spammed these so called porn sites that are .RU in Gmail.

    I have tried to block i have tried to filter them but they keep changing emails.

    I probably have close to 5,000 email links blocked.

    Couple issues here with this. it's a very old video and information. it's all most 8 years old. Not only that most people don't have that so called Admin access.Filter only filters to one area. I want to block it these sites just make more emails.

    And not only that Gmail users can only have up to 10,000 blocked emails on one account. I have had this happen where i had to clean up my email block list.And start over because of the limitations.

    thanks though.

    Any other ideas. would be help full.

    I have been trying other methods like looking into the original headers and see if there is a away to block ip or forward it to another email kinda like a blackhole type thing.

    Are you reading the mail at the website or with an email client? I used to use mailwasher, might give it a try.

    Mailwasher is a filter.I am trying to get rid of the problem. Filter only filters it will not help unsub from these spam sites. I tried about 6 of these ad ons and they really don't do anything.And they expect you to pay an arm and a leg.

    I have even gone as far as finding the IP and reporting it to the local FBI and FCC.

    I am just sick and tired of this BS.

    You're part of your own problem. NEVER unsubscribe! All you're doing is validating that they found an account that a human will reply from. Word was if you unsubscribed, they would take you off their list and sell you to another. Better to just delete the mail and appear to be a black hole, than respond.

    Mailwasher does filter, but it is a client that grabs the mail and filters out junk and supposedly learns, so if you run it before looking at your mail "all" the spam should be filtered out.
