@emerald40 I wish I can delete them without opening. But they just show up as generic messages with subject line "message from member". So I'd have to click into them first in order to know what the member wants.

I am assuming that any virus then would be filtered out by ebay. So no harm to your computer to simply open it up. Then just read the first few words, and bam put that member on your blocked list.
On my personal email I am afraid that if I set my filters too high it might block out emails I want to see. So I just delete any email address I am not familiar with.
