Hi guys, I am being driven demented by Alejendra Harris and her "no
worries mate" spam. I'm getting about 75 of them a day and they have
all been sent at the exact same time: 15 May at 5.39pm. Blocking her
with my ISP's spamblocker doesn't stop her - the best I've been able to
achieve is a filter so at least she goes straight to trash, but of
course I still get the new mail alert every few minutes which is very
irritating.
My ISP's helpdesk couldn't do anything either and said they'd be
reporting it to their abuse team, but it's been over a week and still
no progress. Further emails to them just get me the automated "it
might seem like the same spam but these people are cunning ..."
response.
I've installed Mailwasher but cannot get that particular account to
work, although my other accounts are fine. It says there is a problem
with user name/login/whatever and even my ISP were scratching their
heads about why, when I'd entered everything correctly.
In case it helps, here is a screenshot of the header:

I'd be really, really grateful if someone could help me stop these emails. I'd change ISP's, but
my email is of their domain and it's such a hassle.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I've been getting those for about 6 or 7 months even to email addresses that have never been listed anywhere. I wish I could stop them... They used to be about the stock market but now are about pills.
The problem is it's an image which gives very little for the spam detector to go on.
If the sender is always "Alejendra Harris" and/or the subject is always "No worries mate" you can set up a filter to delete it (Tools > Mail Filters).
Is the image embedded in the mail or downloaded? If it's downloaded you're confirming that your e-mail account is active every time you open the message which is why you're getting more. Edit > Preferences then Message Display and tick "Block images and other content from remote sources".
I'm assuming you're using the latest version of SeaMonkey. If you're using an earlier version or Mozilla these options might be in other places or not exist.
