About all you can do is contact each individual emailer and tell them
you want no more email from them; this is a CAN SPAM Act requirement.

As for the promoters of PC-EXPO, perhaps a cease and desist letter
from your attorney is the next step.

If you note the email address I use for posting here ... that absorbs
all the spam generated from usenet harvesters; if you think having a
@mytrashmail.com address would be a problem simply make a freemail
account on Yahoo, Hotmail etc to give to any unknown/untrusted
businesses; although in my case if they don't like @mytrashmail they
can ESAD/FOAD!
