Although it's not something serious to me but I find it to be annoying so as it appears in pretty much all my email and I wonder if there's a way to solve this problem or find that spammer out.

Well sometimes I see funny stuffs like those famous Nigeria and the like, the spam filter works ok since it managed to block many many spams. Sometimes it can't distinguish spam properly and I had search through it in the spam box

Just ignore those spam emails, never open them.
Some people use email scan programs to scan forums, blogs, websites, and collect people's emails.
That is why you should never show your email in your profile and you should have a free spam email account.

Hiya

Quite simply you can't stop spammers, but there are a few things you can do which may help to reduce the ammount of spam somewhat.

    try to minimise public exposure of your main email adress

    Set up a seperate email adress for registering with sites, forums, blogs etc

    dont click on any of the links or open any attatchments, they probably track your clicks and use it to confirm your adress is active.

    don't sign up to any affiliate sites, such as hitfarms, dropshipping etc, unless you know they are trusted, these kind of sites probably sell on your adress to whoever has big enough pockets.
