Those are spam I believe, the extra e gives it away. I'm sure someone else will agree.
...and mark them spam then you won't see them anymore, they'll all go into your spam folder unless they are there now?

@Granniecooks, If you're receiving obvious spam, I'm afraid what you're experiencing is known as "email address spoofing." Most people are familiar with the spam that appears to come from financial institutions, or PayPal, or Amazon, or other businesses but which actually is sent by impostors.
One major clue is if you block the "qvc@e.qvcemail.com" address but the mail continues to arrive. It's still coming in because the actual sender is not "qvc@e.qvcemail.com" -- it's a criminal impersonating this address.
The key to stopping this spam is, first, to learn how to view the full email headers of each message. Then find out how to read the headers and see the actual email address and/or the actual domain (domain is the part after the "@" sign in the address) originating the spam. After you do that, you can block the addresses of the true senders and the spam will stop (unless they send more of it from newer addresses).

I'm sure a moderator will respond, but that doesn't look like a bona fide QVC address (where did the "e's" come from).

@Just Bling and @2blonde, "qvc@e.qvcemail.com" actually is one of the valid QVC email addresses. (I just checked, and the real QVC mail I received this morning was sent from that address.) The issue here is that their address is being "spoofed" so they're not the actual sender -- it just looks like they are.

OP: Actually, though it's not originated by QVC, it is a good idea to report it to the FCC or whatever agency deals with spoofed addresses.

It can be reported to the FTC at this address: spam@uce.gov. However, they need to see the full headers of the message in order to determine who the actual sender is -- otherwise, they can't do anything to track it or try to stop it.

Here's a great link with articles and info about headers that @Caffeina provided on another thread:

This picture is from an actual QVC email.

@Granniecooks If you ever participated in any of the contest QVC frequently has you may have un-knowingly asked to receive information from QVC. I know that is where mine are coming from and yes they have the same e-mail address you are seeing. They are getting more frequent lately, as many as 4 or 5 daily. You just need to unsubscribe to notifications at the bottom of the email.
