How can I stop email spam?
Turn your 'SpamGuard' on and/or manually place the address on your 'Blocked Addresses' list. You have to turn your 'SpamGuard' on and change the settings within to auto block and delete addresses when you hit the 'Spam' button. This will teach your spam filter to recognize most junk mail and your spam will reduce over a short period of time.





------------





To turn 'SpamGuard' on:





1. Go to your email box.





2. Click 'Options' (upper right, horizontal list of options, blue letters).





3. Click 'Spam Protection' (first column, under 'Spam', blue letters).





4. In the 'Spam Filter' section:


(a. Click '[Turn SpamGuard On]'


(b. Check the:


'O Immediately delete these messages upon receipt.


NOTE: Sometimes SpamGuard may treat a valid email message as spam and deliver it to the Bulk folder. If you select the "delete immediately" option, you won't have a chance to review the messages in your Bulk folder before Yahoo! Mail deletes them.





Or check the:


'O Save these messages in the Bulk Folder for [1 week[v] - [2 weeks[v] - [1 month[v]'





5. In the 'Mark Spam + Not Spam' section:


Under the 'When I mark a message as Spam, in addition to deleting the message:'


Check the box:


'[/] Add the sender's email address to my blocked addresses list'





6. Click the 'Save Changes' button (below the 'Mail' tab).

To 'Block Addresses':





1. Go to your email box.





2. Click 'Options' (upper right, horizontal list of options, blue letters).





3. Click 'Block Addresses' (first column, under 'Spam').

'Enter email address (or domain) to block: [___________]' input field.





5. Click on the 'Add Block' button.





Blocked addresses are email addresses that you do not want to receive any mail from. Incoming mail from these addresses will be automatically disposed of, without bouncing back to the sender. When you remove an address from your Blocked Addresses list, you will once again be able to receive mail from that address.
Reply:I suspect you actually created the monster yourself without realising it. When you open a spam mail, you could be triggering an alert to the spammers that you have an active email address. This will certainly result in TONS of spam mail in the future. Another issue is replying to such mails. Even legitimate companies are reluctant to remove people from their subscription lists because it is an effective way of keeping their name and advertising in front of the public. However, we must all be really careful how we handle all spam/junk messages that arrive, whether in the Inbox or in the Bulk folder...


1. Spam mails that go straight to Bulk should be left there. You can empty the Bulk folder any time you want, but never NEVER open spam mails.


2. Spam mails that land in your Inbox should be marked as Spam so that they are moved to Bulk and placed on the Blocked list. (Blocking an address prevents mails from being received from that address again in the future.)


3. Any email that you are the least bit suspicious about should be deleted immediately. Don't let curiosity get the better of you. Simply opening a spam email out of curiosity could alert the spammers that you have an active email address (they probably didn't know it before), to which they will most certainly send TONS of spam mail in the future.
