I sent out a "Reply to all" email and stated.

"These emails are NOT TRUE, are URBAN MYTHS and I find them OFFENSIVE. Do not send me emails of this kind again!"

I don't get them any more.

We have (well, we had) a good friend who (unfortunately?) got married. We believe his new spouse is the one sending all the trash in his name. All of them originate with the same bigot, and are FWD FWD FWD tagged. At least half are chain letters.

I did the same as indicated above, several times, with no effect.

Sadly, I was forced to put a block on "his" email. I still get them, but now they go directly to junk mail. I don't even look at them, so I'll probably not know if he encounters some "life event" for which I might be (or once would have been) a friend.

Regrets - - but not many.
