Answer 1

Mark as spam, setup filter, send letter of cease-and-desist

Answer 2

DO NOT send any response to those emails.   it marks your address as valid.

Simply delete them. or mark as spam.  

set up a filter or power filter (see below)

if this is on a yahoo account.

if not, check the options of your email account.  If you have an account with a hosting company, you can black list addresses in an ip range.  (find the ip in the header information of the email)

You can copy and past the header info here for more detail or email it to me.  you may remove or blank out part of your email address and your ip if shown, leave the origionating IP address and email intact.  IE if you dont know anybody in africa, you probably don't want to get email from africa.
