In the U.S. there's a way of opting out and having your name removed from junk mail lists.
I would think something similar would be available in the UK. Google "junk mail removal."

I had a look, they ask for your address- I can't see how that would work. I don't want to give my email address out to anything ever again!
I'll just keep using the sweep and block tabs.

I thought you were talking about paper mail. Our opt out system is run by the Federal
Trade Commission, a government agency. Email is another matter. I just rely on my
Internet service provider to block most of the spam.

You probably haven't given out your email address to some dating site 😉

Why did you not set up a throwaway hotmail account to use at the dating site?

What's an IP? Is that the filter thing where I click on sweep, block?
