if they use the same mail id, you can block that id. If they use different random ids, may be gmail filters can help if their content is similar / same. If you use Yahoo or other mails, its little problematic

  Thanks HomeBizNizz for the good tip, the scambaiter page is cool, I looked at the site in your bio box too (very nice), also to the guys suggesting a junk email box...I know, I know, I sometimes get lazy and forget to exercise due diligence. :rolleyes:
  
  Thanks

Yeah, I always create a new gmail e-mail address when I post Craigslist classifieds. It's free and it takes like 5 min.

So, you want to become the thing you hate? :p

Gmail... new account... forget about fighting the spammers, you will surely lose.

just ignore them.. if we fight them back, then we just got the title "spammers". so we are the same as theirs
