I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything. I also ran all the Vista updates, etc. Somewhere along the way I received messages, apparently from Microsoft, asking me to check a box and enter my mail address if I wanted to be notified of furthe updates (or something like that). not long afterwards I received an email, again purporting to come from Microsoft, which advertised various types of Viagra. rather belatedly I realised that this was nothing to do with that organisation. I then compunded my original error by clicking Unsubscribe on the message.

As a result I now receive lots of messages from my own email address offering all sorts of rubbish. Can I put a stop to this without changing my address?
 
I would suggest you adding a filtering rule in order to remove all the emails coming from your own address.
