Email delivery by service provider

I've been having a 'nag' at mine for sending emails to me when they are addressed to a 'generic' address, eg as below:

Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Delivered-To: [email protected] There is my email address
Received: (qmail 95315 invoked from network); 11 Dec 2005 16:54:49 -0000
Received: from unknown (HELO qm02.yyyyyyyyyy.net) (212.67.121.107)
by qm12 with SMTP; 11 Dec 2005 16:54:49 -0000
Received: (qmail 64506 invoked from network); 11 Dec 2005 16:54:40 -0000
Received: from unknown (HELO aykuh.gov) (65.190.130.230)
by qm02 with SMTP; 11 Dec 2005 16:54:44 -0000

Not NORMALLY a problem , but with all the virus mails plus all the spam around at the moment, it is very tedious.

Aha, they say, you should 'filter' these emails.

So, the questions are:-

how does a 'generic' email like that get sent to a personal address?

are THEY doing everything they can to stop the spread of this stuff?

should I be really have to place x hundred filter rules to stop this?

surely any 'generic' address which is NOT on the provider's list should be blocked?

should I keep on nagging?
