Emails with Rubbish

[Richard Sidlin]

I did what you said but I am still getting these through. The headers on the email (shown below) do not even mention spam:


Return-Path: <loveme99 at 4bee.org>
Received: from loveme99.net ([218.13.60.8])
        by hosting.helpplc.co.uk (8.10.2/8.10.2) with ESMTP id h5UGgbT27331

The message look chinese although I'm not an expert! Such as:


   现有一广交会二期灯饰展展位低价转让，位置位于广交会8号馆一楼靠近4号门，位置相当优越，大小2.5m×2.5m，现价人民币75，000元转让，请各灯饰厂家不要错过这千载难逢的机会。

Any ideas appreciated.
