Hi, I've recently found someone who apparently doesn't like me very
much and has decided to make it their life mission to annoy me. So,
for the past few weeks I've been spammed (about 200 messages every
five minutes, literally) from randomly generated emails that ended
with "domain.tld" (an impossible domain). For awhile this was fine
because I could just use gmail's lovely filters and not have it
cluttering up my mailbox. But recently they've switched to random text
"@google.com" proving that a filter is hopeless. I'm pretty sure this
is all being sent from the same IP. I can't find any way to mark the
27,000 new emails in my inbox all as spam and was curious if there was
a specific way I should report this.
I can't exactly read my email if it's being spammed nonstop.
An example of what the message header thing:
[email address]
to [email address]

If you want to mark the entire inbox as spam, click "All" (directly to
the right of Select, at the top). This should then bring up a line
with language that reads something like, "All 100 conversations on
this page are selected. Select all 27,000 conversations in inbox"--the
latter sentence being a clickable link. Click that, then hit the
report spam button.
But before you do that, try looking at a couple headers (click "show
details") to see if you can find a common address in there someplace.
If you see one--and admittedly I don't know if a header would provide
that, but it's worth a shot--you can make a filter to automatically
send to trash anything new that is received. At least, I think it
would work. I don't know if a filter can extract info from a header or
not. But again, it'd be worth a try.

I figured that you would be able to mark 27,000 items as spam all at
once, but you can't. Once you click the "Select all 27,000
conversations" the "Report spam" option greys out. I even sent it to
my trash and tried it from there.
Google only lets you report spam on the page you're looking at.

I'd guess it's meant for your own protection, so you don't
accidentally include things you don't want to. Or else it simply
cannot process that many spam reports at once.

OH???
I clicked on a small choice which says:" delete all of my spam", so I
pressed the link, and 1500 pcs of SWILL went down the drain in 3
seconds...I needed a sound wav there ...like "Burrp!"
