There are several ways to stop spam:

3. Some e-mail providers allow you to block some senders. In Windows Live Hotmail, the Junk button allows you to delete the message and block the sender from your inbox.
4. Contact the company and ask them to stop.
5. If you are being harassed by the spam messages, you have a right to contact the police. Either e-mail or use the non-emergency number for your local police station, and inform them about the messages and who sent them. They will help you as much as possible.

Answer:
Spam is a popular term for unsolicited, commercial e-mail. To be considered spam, e-mail generally needs to come from a source with which you do not have a previous personal or business relationship and to promote some product or service. It does not have to be part of a mass mailing to be considered spam, nor does it typically have a malicious attachment.
There are many proposals. Most involve charging to send email just as you are charged to send physical mail. Others involve a database of authorize mail servers and trashing or bouncing unwanted mail. Many email services provide an automatic filter designed to prevent spam from reaching users, which works to some degree.
Spam in other forms, such as on message boards or wikis (like WikiAnswers) can be discouraged in a number of ways, the most common of which is a suspension/ban policy for offenders. This acts as discouragement to users, as the prospect of being unable to use a service removes the temptation to spam/vandalise.
In some of the more extreme cases, blocking IP addresses is a technique that can be used to prevent offenders from accessing a service, so that they are unable to reoffend.
