I Mark phishing email spam, and its back again the next day?
The best way to block spammers in your Yahoo account is not by pressing the "SPAM" button.





Instead, do this- open your Yahoo! e-mail and open a spam letter. In the sender's address box, copy the URL of the spammed account. (For instance, ar$@atbroad.com - you would only copy "atbroad.com")





Open a second browser window (or TAB) with your Yahoo email account. In the top right of that window is "OPTIONS" click that and then select "Block Addresses"





You will see a list of all the blocked addresses- REMOVE THEM ALL because it is harder to block individual addresses.





Paste the URL of the site you wish to block (such as "atbroad.com" or whatever the URL is of the spammail you are getting)





Do this instead of hitting the SPAM button every time because that will ONLY block an individual e-mail account.





By blocking an entire site, it does not matter which e-mail address created tries to spam you- it will be blocked. For example, sarah@atbroad.com, a45@atbroad.com, and 56$@atbroad.com all come from the domain "atbroad.com" if you block the URL and not the individual, none of the e-mails generated from that spam website will get through.





Just be careful, if the URL is something like earthlink.com, msn.com, aol.com, gmail.com, yahoo.com, or other COMMON e-mail sites- you DO NOT want to block that URL because you will never receive e-mails from friends or family who use those accounts.





Another way is if you can block the IP address but I recommend that for advanced users.

Also I hope my Yahoo Spam blocking technique helps you out!
Reply:Damn, I wish I was you with all that luck.





Spam is like an STD with one exception ..... you can avoid getting an STD. There's no avoiding spam in either your Internet or physical mailbox.
