I would be interested to know how you block them, since each one comes from a different (and usually fake) e-mail address.

Depending on how it's generated... a lot of spammers use a random number or character generator to preface the return, like this:

alamjr4@msn.com

That "4" will get replaced by something else next cycle, so you block it with a wildcard:

alamjr*@msn.com

Of course, you could just block everything from msn.com /grin!
