What is the antispam email registry where you can send your eamil address to get rid of the spam?

I used the registry once before and it worked great until I accidentally opened a spam. Now I am inundated with junk.

What happens if I accidentally mark an email as spam/?

I was going through my e-mail (and I get so much it is ridiculous), and I wanted to mark an e-mail as spam. However, after the letter that I thought I marked was deleted, that letter was still there (which means that I accidentally marked another letter as spam - and have no idea which letter that was)

What happens if I accidentally mark an email as spam/?
Check your spam folder. When you mark a message as spam, Mail moves the message into the Spam folder and continues to deliver messages from that address into your Spam folder. Open the email and click Not Spam. Hope this helps!!!
Reply:You have to go to your spam folder and move the one you want back to your inbox. No other way.
Reply:It goes to your spam folder, Just mark as safe in the spam folder.


Has anyone ever bought v_!_a_g r_@ or any other "illegal" drug from a spam email?

I find it hard to believe that anyone would ever buy a drug like c_1_a_l_1_s or v_i_@_gr_a from a company that sends them spam, especially when the email is incomprehensible, worded poorly or even just spelled out with characters instead of letters of the alphabet. Has anyone actually ever done it?





Beyond that, they can't possibly be making a profit, can they? Anyone have any inside knowledge about the sales volume received vs. from this kind of spam?





It baffles the mind...

Has anyone ever bought v_!_a_g r_@ or any other "illegal" drug from a spam email?
The purpose is to brainwash consumers mind through repeating the brand name to an extend that it becomes stuck in their mind forever. people who eventually will need those products will search for the proper keywords and of course they will find th product in a more credible on line store - the thing is that they are already pre-heated to buy it after all that spam brainwashing.

Finally, go to Options, Mail Options, Spam. In the blocked area if the address is in there click on the address and delete it from that box.


How can I unblock two important email addresses that I accidentally reported as spam?

I was very distracted and I marked a bunch of business and professional emails to be put in a business folder in my email.

How can i send spam email?

Where can i go in order to send out alot of spam to a big list of people?

How can i send spam email?
Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam and junk fax transmissions.Spaming is considered illegal in many countries and you might get caught.

How come I get Spam from my own Yahoo Email?

I keep trying to sell myself Replica Watches.. I also see other Yahoo Users trying to sell me Replica Watches..





What's going on?

How come I get Spam from my own Yahoo Email?
It is annoying, but meanwhile spammers know how to make it look like you yourself are the one who is sending such mails. Got some of them myself, but since I know that I don't send myself any junk mail, I just delete them. As far as I know, there is no other way yet to deal with such crap, after all, you can't block your own mail address. Btw - especially those replica watches get reported on YA a lot for the kind of practice you are describing.

This is happening to many others at this time, it's a trick of the spammers to get you to open it and or spam it, then you would be blocking your own address. Never mark them as spam, just delete them if in the inbox, if in the spam bin, just empty it. It seems to be in full force now, it will pass, I had some also, my heart sank, then I realized they were not real.
Reply:I say call yahoo if you can and if you can't create a new yahoo account. But if you don't want to do that just change your password. also if you have your own personal laptop create a really complicated password and tape it to the laptop. GOOD LUCK!!
Reply:you should definitely change your password, and inform your friends that your email adress is being hacked into,so they don't think it's you.
Reply:change your password but to have a password no 1 can hack into put two numbers in the start and 3 at the end

Is there an address I can write to or email to keep "spam" from coming in my email?

I know there are addresses to write to in order to stop junk mail coming to your home and phone numbers to stop telemarketers. So something has to be there to stop unsolicited email!

Is there an address I can write to or email to keep "spam" from coming in my email?
unfortunately there is no one simple solution to keep out Spams. There are a few thinsg u can do.





1. Do not give your email away freely on the website.


2. Use filters in your email client to filter out spams from your Inbox.


3. Find the unsubscribe link on the spam mail and unsubscribe.


4. If you are at work, inform your IT administrator
Reply:unfortunately many sites that get your email address SELL it to others to keep their costs down.. and to make money.. so you need to know the privacy policy of the people you give out your email address to....





have multiple email addresses.. one for "junk" sites where you need to give an email address to register.. nobody says you need to check your email every day.. and you can just delete most of it anyway.





if your friends keep sending you stuff that is sent from a "email this to a friend" site... and you get spam from it.. tell that friend to STOP spamming you!!.. then give them your new email address.. (the one for junk mail only)... and cross them off your Christmas card list.
Reply:Simply open another e-mail account with yahoo and let your friends know your new address...and tell them to never submit your new address to any contest ect. for you. When you yourself..submits your e-mail for online sites...like contests or whatever...give them your old email address...check your old e-mail about once every 2 weeks and enjoy your new e-mail address daily.





Good Luck
Reply:Each of the proper free emails which you use like yahoo and hotmail and gmail, all of them have tie ups with various advertising firms in order so that they get the money to keep your their services free, so when you sign up for these, each of them have their own partners which advertise on their sites, so that you see the small ids your inbox page, but some companies sent unsolicited emails which you call it as spam, so the programmers of the email departments try not to block this address incase you have signed up for them, and so they deliver the email to your bulk or junk or whatever is the folder for spam, how ever with yahoo and hotmail, if you see that a company is sending you emails again and again even if you have labelled them as spam, then go to setting and click on "block address" and so the programmers will block that particular address, this is the best you can do.


CHEERS!!!
Reply:You need to analyze the header info in the emails to determine what ISP the mail came from so that you can complain. for instance an email from mandy@sex4u.com may have actually originated from comcast.net. In this example, you would want to forward the email with all the header information to abuse@comcast.net.


Almost every ISP has an abuse@ email address.


The other thing is to simply be very careful what you sign your email address to. You should make one email for signing up forstuff online, and one for just family and friends.


Trhough careful management, I have several email addresses that never get spammed, and one that gets a couple hundred spam a day. Mostly it's a matter of common sense.





Also, be VERY WARY of unsolicited emails win UNSUBSCRIBE buttons. Many of these are just trying random word email addresses on popular ISPs...and when you click UNSUBSCRIBE, you are in fact verifying that your email address is valid and active! Not that ALL unsubscribes do that, but there are many which that is their only function.

Can anyone explain to me where all the spam is suddenly coming from in my yahoo email?
If you do purchases online, sign up for newsletters, forums, or anything that requires you to input your email, there is a big chance that you will get spam mail. Most websites do nothing to keep your email or info private, so they are accessible to affiliates on those websites, and they get passed around as usual. Eventually you are spammed with hundreds of junk mail. There isn't anything you can do besides filter them, but you can prevent spam somewhat. You might want to consider a PERSONAL email exclusively for family, friends, and other personals, and another email for newsletters, forums, and even shopping.

Evidently, this doesn't happen on Yahoo email---so assumptions are you're using some other email client, like Microsoft's infamous Outlook Express (which should be avoided, in my opinion).





You obiviously have some bot-net bug in your computer's files somewhere. A good virus scan and equally good spyware scan should snag the nasties and clean 'em out.

How can I get less spam on my email?

I used to get no spam whatsoever but over the past few months, I am getting more and more spam!

How can I get less spam on my email?
Check Mailwasher, it helps to eliminate spam from your inbox!





Set up your email account(s) in MailWasher and hit the "Check Mail" button. It then downloads all new message headers and displays message details alongside each one (priority, subject, from, to, etc.).





Any email that MailWasher considers to be spam is highlighted for easy sorting.





Two checkboxes are located next to each message header: "Delete" and "Bounce". If you click "Delete" the email will be marked for deletion, click "Bounce" and the mail will be marked for bouncing - a fake "address not found" email will be sent to the sender.





Once you have decided what to bounce and delete, click "Process Mail" to get it done and your mail client launched for downloading all accepted emails.





MailWasher has a "blacklist" and a "friends list" to enter good and bad email addresses. Addresses in the blacklist are marked for deletion, and addresses in the friends list will be marked as okay.





Filters can be set to increase MailWasher's effectiveness. You can have email addressed to "undisclosed recipients" automatically deleted and bounced for example.





Note: the program is free but limited to one email account, and doesn't include Hotmail support.MW Pro supports multiple mail accounts.

How do I "un-spam" email my husband sends me from work?
You can easily unspam it. Just go into your spam folder and mark that particuluar message as 'not spam'. This moves the message into your inbox and does not send any future emails from this address to the spam folder.
Reply:If you marked a message as spam when it was not spam, this could temporarily affect the efficiency of SpamGuard Plus. We recommend that you do the following:





Go to the trash folder.


Open the message you mistakenly marked as spam.


Click the "Not Spam" button.


The message will be returned to your inbox and your SpamGuard Plus filters will know that this message was, in fact, not spam.
Reply:find his message in spam, click not spam at top..lit will auto start going to in box or you could go into options and set it up to go to in box
Reply:Well, if you are using Yahoo! email, just go into your spam folder, find the message and then select the "Not spam" message for it.

You can send them a thank you email where you can ask them to sign up to your mailing list. That's the only option acceptable if they did not opt-in to your autoresponder.

How do you prevent your email address from being used to spam other people?

You just can't. The emails work like this: you write a message in your email client and you send it to your email services provider to deliver it to the destinator (who you have specified in the email). Your email services provider (who is actually a machine - email server) receive the email you have sent him, and he post it then to the address you specified.


Now imagine a bad guy sitting on that server, rewriting your destinator's address - in this case your email will be sent to somebody else.


Now imagine a bad guy, again sitting on the same server, but now rewriting YOUR (senders) address - and here it is. In fact he doesn't need your email - he can just make one (with your email address in the Sender field, same as he can edit the coming emails.


So if someone has a server like this, he can just do this forever ;)

How do you prevent your email address from being used to spam other people?
You need to not download any viruses or spyware. If you get an attachment by email, do not download it, unless you know the sender, and even then look at it and make sure it is something that they were suppose to send you.

I accidently indentified a message from a good friend as spam. How can I de-spam him and email agains to him?
Go into your email, go to Options, then go to Blocked Addresses. Check to see if your friends email address is listed there. If it is, click on it and then click Remove.





If that does not solve your problem, then you have received an email virus, try this...........





Click on your Start Menu, go to Programs, go to your Internet Service Provider (Comcast, NetZero, AOL.....) go to Support and option to Restore. This will restore your computer back to the last date it was working properly on line.





Now go back to your email and try again. If it doesn't work, restart your computer and then try again.





There is never a good reason to save Spam. Even if you have another email account, you should have similar options, I recommend the following email adjustments:





To STOP receiving unwanted (Spam/Bulk/Junk) email, do the following:





Log into your Email, go to Options (upper right hand side). Go through all your settings and don't forget to save them too.





Under Spam Protection, make sure your Spam Guard is turned ON. Option to immediately delete all Spam messages. This will force all new email to redirect to your Inbox. Option to Block messages that you mark as Spam. If you plan on keeping your Bulk folder, also option messages you mark as Not-Spam to be moved to your Inbox. Always Option to Block all Images until you can look them over first. This prevents spammers from knowing you opened their email. Save Changes.





Under Blocked Addresses, type in spammer.com, this will stop all Spam that has been reported to Yahoo from ever entering your email. I recommend you remove everything on your list first. This will give you a fresh start after you type in the "spammer.com".





Under General Preferences, Folders/Search Results, Special Folders, option to redirect incoming unsolicited email to the Bulk Folder. Save.





Check your Marketing Preferences to make sure you didn't accidently request something. Go into My Account, click Marketing Preferences, click Clear and Save Your Changes.





If you get email from someone you don't know, NEVER open it (it may contain viruses) and report it as SPAM. This will automatically block it from your email account. When you do open an email that is Spam, you have alerted the sender that your account is Active.





This will immediately stop all the Junk Mail considerably. I only get maybe one or two Spam emails a Month. Remember, anytime you give out your email address over the internet, you can expect to receive some kind of Spam, unless you have made sure that site is secured.





Don't save messages in your Inbox folder. Instead create a folder to move them to. Open your Inbox, click the box next to the message(s) you want to save, click the tab above that says Move and create a folder to move it to. Always keep your Inbox clear and ready to receive New Messages. You can have as many folders as you want.





Good Luck!

It is an honor. Report Abuse

Spam email is being sent from my Yahoo ID. My anti virous is uptodate and shows no virous How can I fix this?
There is not a whole lot you can do. Spammers get your address in a lot of ways including scanning web pages for addresses visible there, checking chain emails for the plainly visible email addresses showing up as people forward the emails, and harvesting them from virus-infected computers.





Once they have your email address, they can easily write their email to appear as if it came from you. Most spammers use programs that fill this information in for them. But in the mechanics of email, there's rarely any verification done to determine that the source of an email is really who it appears to be. It's kind of like taking a bunch of postal letters and writing your neighbor's house address on the return address line--- the mailman is not going to confirm that the letters came from you really.





I'd recommend closing your current address down (just don't use it for a while and Yahoo will turn it off) then setting up two new ones--- one that you only use for family and friends or business contacts that you tell in advance to please not send you chain letters, funny pictures, anything that says "send this to everyone in your address book", and another for posting stuff to the Internet, signing up for newsletters, etc, and for those friends who insist on sending you the silly pictures of the cats or the guy kicking the soccer ball in a kilt... you know the ones I mean! This way, you can shut down the second address as it too gets discovered by spammers and exploited.





Go ahead and report it to Yahoo but do not expect any real action. The resources required to track this to its source are pretty heavy-duty and are not likely to ever track the spammer to its source. Spammers take control of other people's computers, use disposable accounts and use public computers or access points like coffee shops. By the time you trace the email to where it physically came from, the guy has long since vanished.





Go ahead and change your passwords--- good idea to do this from time to time anyway--- but most likely your account has not been actually accessed. They've used other ways to forge your address.
Reply:If they're not using your account...then they're forging your address. Just like they could pretend to be anyone else
Reply:Change your password and make it stronger, ie letters AND numbers.

Reply:People will give you many answers to this question. Have multiple email addresses, report the spammers... None of these work. The spammers have MANY tricks. To get by filters they just use images instead of text. To change where a spam is coming from they infect millions of unsuspecting computers with viruses that work as 'spambots', sending out spam emails and hiding the actual sender of the spam. The ONLY way that I have found to completely eliminate spam is a free email service that I found. http://www.EnterTo.com uses channels. If you get a spam through a channel, you just delete it.

Reply:There is no way you can rid yourself of SPAM, however, you can reduce it greatly by having more than one e-mail address. Use one for e-mail to friends only. This should keep it "clean." Use the other for searches, purchases, whatever. It will fill with SPAM but at least it will keep it out of your "private" address.





In Yahoo Mail, Options, General Preferences, set preferences to display about 25 messages at a time. This way you can quickly look down the list of senders. If it is all SPAM, click "check all," then click "delete." Gone, with two clicks.





If any wanted e-mail accidentally goes into the "bulk" folder, click the box preceding the sender, then click "move to," where you can move it to your inbox.
Reply:You must not open Emails from unknown addresses.Many hours are wasted due to spam email. However, by taking simple precautions while giving out your email and installing updated free software, you can prevent spam. More info available at

How do I remove spam specific to a sender and not an email address?

If the government is cracking down on email spam, why don't they crack down on junk snail mail?

I just wonder what's the difference between people bothering me through my email and people bothering me through my post? I hate both.

If the government is cracking down on email spam, why don't they crack down on junk snail mail?
you can sing up for a do not mail list now too, it works pretty well, I have a few friends who have and they say the same
Reply:any junk mail that I get I will use their own postage paid envelope to mail them trash. It only takes a second to fill the envelope and mail it back at em
Reply:because the gov't makes money from snail mail spam in the form of postage.
Reply:you got the answer,the government makes money. i'll give you a solution for some of it. take any pre-paid envelope they send in the junk and mail it back to them empty.
Reply:Junk snail mail isn't as much of a problem, since it costs companies money in postage to send it. If we found a way to charge people for sending us unwanted e-mails, then e-mail spam would decrease too.
Reply:because the post offices would go broke.
Reply:Oh that's easy. The government gets paid for the postage on the spam in your mailbox, but they haven't found a way to tax email spam yet, so they're against it.
Reply:you can dump both, it is real easy.

Keep on getting spam email (in hotmail) that is in Japanese?

They all have the same layout, but the links change and the address changes. The only same link in all of them (I think) is infoinfo_kyohi_ado@yahoo.co.jp This has only started recently and hasn't happened before. As far as I know I haven't entered my email anywhere I shouldn't, so I don't know where it could have originated. Any help would be much appreciated.

Keep on getting spam email (in hotmail) that is in Japanese?
When you receive the emails, Select them, and mark them as junk. This way when the next ones come through, they will go straight to you Junk Mail, and you wont have to bother with them.





Once they are in your junk mail folder, you can report them as Spam, or Phishing Scam.





Try that.

How to allow an email newsletter that is being treated like spam?

I have a friend who sends me a weekly email newsletter. Recently it is being blocked and returned to him like spam as there are too many recipients. It is not spam and I do want to receive it. How can I tell my email account to allow this email from this senders address?

How to allow an email newsletter that is being treated like spam?
You need to have that particular address entered into your address book. That notifies Yahoo it's one of your contacts.





You might want to check your blocked list also, just in case----and if it's in there----remove it.


Mail page%26gt;%26gt;options (upper right)%26gt;%26gt;block addresses. Look through the list---find that address----click on it-----remove block.
Reply:Put them in your address book.


Any software/method to ban spam email address by clicking ?

As far as I know, the best is to not clicking on unknown links,


set email filter and delete those emails with unreadable titles.





Is there a software/method where I can simply ban particular email address(es) simply by clicking on the title ?





I notice that lots of those spams have unreadable titles and you can delete them straight away safely.





It will be great if such a software exists. It's very tiring having to include spam email addresses in the filter..
