It’s the downside to (pretty much) free communications – unsolicited commercial email or Spam as it’s generally called.
First rule is never reply to it as it shows the address is a good one and you may find you then get even more emails. What we suggest is reporting it although it’s not alwys the easiest job in the world!
So to help out, we’re starting a list of where and how we report ours. If you have better places then please let us know.
Reporting Rocketmail Spam Email
This is currently with Yahoo and they have a very easy form to complete that does the job pretty much for you – you just need a copy of the message and the email headers.

Forward any dodgy looking emails to PayPal at abuse@paypal.com and also add the email header as it helps them trace the sender.
Reporting AOL Spam Email
Forward ny spam emails from AOL accounts to abuse@aol.com and also add the email header as it can help them track the sender.
We’ll be adding more shortly…
