How do I use Gmail filters to remove unwanted mail?

Filters allow you to manage incoming messages and organize your inbox. Using filters, you can automatically label, archive, delete, star, or forward your mail, based on any combination of keywords, sender, recipients, and more.

If you have been the recipient of a number of similar emails that you do not want, you may use these settings to remove these messages and any that may be delivered later.
