Mailscanner with f-prot dying

HOW DO I GET OFF THIS LIST?........On almost a daily basis I would get
almost two dozen emails. Two of them would be for me and about twenty of
them were unsolicited advertisements. Thus my attempt to find some way to
eliminate this problem which led to your mailscanner site in search of help.
NOW I get almost three dozen emails. Again about two are  for me, and over
twenty are still the unsolicited advertisements, and another 10 to 15 are
you guys talking to each other in a language I don't even understand. Thus
my attempt to REDUCE the unsolicited advertisements I get has resulted in an
INCREASE of unsolicited AND unwanted email, plus duplicate messages from
each and every one of you guys talking back and forth. Again I am asking,
HOW do I back out of this very poor decision I made and wish I hadn't?
