Depends who does your email as much as anything, but in gmail go here and add the domain so you have

The following filters are applied to all incoming mail:
Matches: fromegmont.se)
Do this: Delete it

If your emain jobber doesn't work like that, you could do a wildcard filter so *@egmont.se and send to junk or delete.

What program are you using for eMail if you are using Thunderbird it is easy enough to create a message filter, Thunderbird also has an adaptive junk filter which learns from which mark messages as junk.

One of the best junk mail filters in Robin Keir K9 http://www.keir.net/k9.html A very mature program it takes a little knowledge to setup but is very effective I have been using it since the days of Windows 98.

I find Yahoo's email filter seems to work effectively as long as you do mark them as junk. If there is a batch of messages of similar type (or source), one marked as junk gets it to the junk folder, then about half a dozen more end up there by default, then they disappear completely.

I used to just delete them with a rule but that doesn't tell the service provider what they are, so they carry on coming.

We have recently had the same sort of problem...........hundreds of "returned mail to sender messages" , from mailer daemon......like yours the initials etc were changed some of the times. Did a search and found that the same thing seemed to be happening to thousands of other people worldwide! Advice was to change your e-mail password and not get your computer to remember it when given that option..........yes you need to type in your password each time but so far!!!!????? Worth a try .....
