>I keep geting lots of spams. F.ex. lots from member.eBay etc. Then I wanted to report to eBay for that spam. BUT no luck. Spam is about my bet, I have won some item but not payed, and I have even ever entered to the eBay. Then I want to report of spam but I can't do that because I'm not registered member and I can't register because there is no eBay in Finland and there is no option to register in other countries as a finnish citizen. Should I ignore OR shoud I assail Interpol or what I should do? Any similiar things?

The first rule is not to answer them or follow up. Just delete them.

I have a spamcop.net account (payware). It does an excellent job of filtering email with Bayesian filters and other means, mostly checking the public blacklists. I get 1 false-positive every 3 moths on average, which I fix by adding the address to my whitelist. I get one SPAM message every 2 weeks that makes it through on average, for which I make a new rule, if possible.

All the rest (about 200 a day or more) get trapped in the trash folders. I have several email addressess, all forwarded to my spamcop.net address that filters everything. Well worth recommending IMO.
