How do I stop a specific nuisance email

bandicoot (Elite) posted this on Monday, 14th July 2014, 10:08

In the last week I keep getting at least 40 of the same email every day saying 'mail delivery failure' with attachment, and its from a China email address.

How do I stop this?

I have not opened any attachments, and deleted them as they come in.

I have put one in the spam folder of my email, wil that stop it eventually, or is there a way to do this? 

Email details....

Looks like someone sent out a load of spam and used your email address as the return address. :/

Not much you can do other than hope they decide to use someone elses, unless whoever you have your email with can block them.

I cannot find any method of blocking, at the moment I have changed spam setting to medium, it was at off, and see if that sorts it in the coming days.

Isn't there an option to block all email from a specific address?
I use mailwasher and would block all mail from chinazjhy.com.

Problem is they are bounces, so they'll be coming from loads of different addresses. :/

I have contacted my email/broadband  provider and see if they can block it at their end. Awaiting an answer from them.
