Who can I complain to about the spam I receive?

We have no control who sends you email, including any spam or junk email that you receive. So if you want to complain about receiving spam email, you will need to make a compliant to the ISP of the sender of that email. You can find out who sent the email to you, from the header information in the emails properties box.

In Outlook select the email in your inbox, right click, and select 'options' or 'properties'. This will then display the header, which should show you the IP address or the ISP name of the sender.

You can also report the spam to such organisations as http://www.spamcop.net/ , http://www.sorbs.net/ , http://www.spamhaus.org/, which is probably the most effective way of beating spam, as this can blacklist the ISP servers, effecting all their services, and stopping the spam being sent.

If you have Antispam software on your computer, depending on its features, this software may also automatically send the details of the spam to the companies above, without you needing to visit their websites.

Please don't email us with your spam emails, as we can't do anything about who sends you email.
