Stuart Johnson
I have suddenly started receiving email from many different address all of it is spam and all has a return address lide this: x@x-offcd.com . The x can be any number of things but they all include the offcd.com. Any idea what this is and how to get rid of it?

The URL is for a online casino/gambling site in Macau.
You can complain to the Macanese authorities. (Yes, I am being facetious)
Due to the rules of this forum, I am not allowes to say what I really feel should be done.

Set an email filter to automatically block or delete (which ever you prefer) all email from offcd.com

The first step is don't open any of hem. The second step is to run a virus check followed by a malware scan. Then if your email app allows mark all the emails as spam ( same thing as setting a filter). EarthLink allows you through their wenail site to block all emails from specific URLs. Check with your email provider to see if they offer the same ability.

Gmail seems very good about filtering spam - catches nearly all of them without interaction and a click filters an occasional one that slips through. I might see one spam email a year, maybe fewer. Google seems to be getting better since a few of years ago I might have seen one every few months.
The spam folder fills often but clicking "delete all spam messages now" fixes that after a quick visual scan of the subject titles.

If you are unsure of how to apply an E-mail filter here goes, if you are sure then here goes anyway(-;
Right click with the mouse
Select Junk or Do Not allow depending on E-mail
Done.

Agreed...

I don't have any problem filtering the email but was wondering just how this offcd outfit came up with my email address. A while back I started getting something similar showing an ending of aws. I just sent it to a special folder and then verified it was all junk and deleted it. At some point it just stopped. I'm hoping this crap does the same.
