Help with e-mail spam

Question

I constantly get spam in my e-mail and all of it is either "Viagra" or things to do with women. How can I filter out this to deflect it back to the sender?

Hotmail or GMAIL seems to be good with SPAM, they filter it. Otherwise you need to configure your SPAM filter manually.

Yahoo Mail and Outlook are also great with Spam.

Ask hotmail here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum?tab=all

Ask Outlook here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/outlook?tab=all
