Network Mail bombing

I have just recently had a look at this website and came across the following article:

http://www.silkroad.com/papers/html/bomb/node5.html

I'm referring to this as this is exactly what is happening to me at this moment in time, and has been going on for over a week now. So far I've had to delete approximately 700 unwanted emails. Smilie

Do you know of any method I could use to stop this happening? Smilie

Thanks.
