San Diego’s Blocking Unwanted Emails Service
One way to Encinitas’ blocking unwanted email that I’ve seen work pretty well is to have a certain word that needs to be included in every email that is sent to you.

You can take it one step better and get encryption. Make people send you everything encrypted and filter out the emails that are not keyed to your PGP key.
