Is there a way I can block spam email addresses?

Is there a place where I can find a list of spammers email addresses?

Is there a place where I can put the email addresses, like in the firewall, firefox, antispyware program or my ISP email? The firewall is vista's firewall.

I did a search and could not find any thing.

Thanks in advance.

There is no list of spammers email addresses, because they are constantly changing and using spoof ones to avoid detection. If there was such a list and it could be relied on to be accurate, there would be no spam problem for anyone.

Some email programs like Mailwasher Pro use online databases to compare your incoming email against a list of known IP addresses used by spammers. These IPs are gathered from user reports sent in to SpamCop and other similar websites by people who have received spam.

Set up some filters in your email client and add new spam to the blacklist. After a few days, your email program will learn to recognise spam and delete it automatically.
