I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum i'm just wondering if anyone has any advice, I am getting about 30 spam emails a day and although most get filtered into a junk mail folder I was wondering if anyone has any longer term solutions. I've tried bouncing them back but this seems to have little effect if not makes the situation worse. I assume this is because they are coming from spoofed email addresses. One of the main problems with the spam is a phising email i get almost daily from someone claming to be natwest. Obviously i'm not stupid enough to give them any details but the fact they are are sending these emails is an offence under the fraud act 2006. Can't these scum be brought to justice. Can't the police investigate the domains the phising forms are hosted on? I guess the problem lies with the fact they could be coming from overseas but surely someone can do something. I feel like something needs to be done against such people.
 
On a closer inspection its closer to 80 spam emails a day but i guess thats not as bad as what some people have to deal with. I guess its just erm... normal these days. Cheers for the advice anyways guys.
