Get a list of all of them and a copy of poppy (probably on Aminet, if not,
it's on ftp.demon) You'll need to disable whatever picks up your mail atm,
then setup poppy to delete for addresses you don't want, and to leave the
others.

It isn't that tricky to setup (by the sounds of it disabling your normal
mail method might be more of a problem, I've not heard of that one) but I'm
sure you can find someone to help ;-)
