How (other than changing to "private") can I stop people from sending "spam" to my 360 mailbox?

That's the problem with spam, it is almost impossible to stop people from sending it.  You can block the individual sender, but spammers change address frequently, and that probably won't work very long.  You should report the message to Yahoo so they can take action if possible.

Sure you can block certain addresses. In AOL go to the top bar - Settings, Mail Control, Sender Filter and then customize however you want it.\n\nReporting it as spam won't always work.

go to "Mail Options"; then click "Spam Protection", then select "Immediately delete these mails upon receipt". Then "SAVE"... Hope this helps! =)

The most effective way to block spam, is to reject any mail that is not from someone in your address book.

There is a way to make a mailing list that is unviewable. I encounter them all the time at my school.\n\nSadly just the people who mailed you listed as spam and move on.

Sometimes there is a link in the mail from advertisers affording you the opportunity to opt out of them sending you emails.  As for individuals, I know that Yahoo has this feature where you can block emails or maybe you can report this mail as spam.

They probably haven't hijacked your outbox, but they have latched on to your domain name to send out spam mails. \n\nThe only thing you can do about it is to deactivate the "catch-all" (that is, default) address for your e-mail domain. That way, only mails to addresses that you have actually defined will be received; the rest will be bounced. This will require you to keep track of which e-mail addresses you use, but that's the price that spammers impose upon every domain owner.

This is not that uncommon, someone used your address as a reply to address in a spam campaign. Irritating but not too much you can do about it.

You can't.  And it is not wise to just give our your e-mail address.  Now people will spam you continuously.  Be careful.

First off, just moving from my old email provider to Yahoo! Mail has dramatically dropped my spam level.  It's not perfect, but it's a good start.\n\nAlso, with Yahoo! Mail you can set up the AddressGuard feature.. it lets you create little single-use addresses that deliver to your regular account, but you can delete them without turning off your "main" address.  \n\nWhen a site I don't really trust asks for my email address, I give them an AddressGuard address.  If I start getting spam on that bogus AddressGuard address, first I know that's a pro-spam company (and they loose my future business) and second, I turn off that AddressGuard address.  Bada-bing.

The only way to get away from tonnes of spam in your bulk folder is to get a new email address.\n\nUnfortunately.

Mark them as spam or block the email.

You need to use or get a spam/junk mail filter. They have become much better of late in trapping spam and quarantining it. Most web-based email services offer it, and more and more ISP's provide some sort of filter tool to their subscribers. I use Outlook 2003 for email and it has an excellent built-in filter.\n\nAdditionally there are a number of excellent spam filter progams available from Norton, McAfee, and many others. Don't torture your Inbox another day!

Go to your mail options and set your spam filter higher.\nYahoo spam filters are pretty smart and I rarely if ever find non-spam emails in my bulk folder and I have my spam settings set to the highest.

Just try to block the e-mail address from where you are getting those e-mails.\n\nNote: Any One can send an email with anyones name suppose an ID of you friend if I wanna attack you I will send you an e-mail with an IDofyourfriend@yahoo.com, Attackers can also send email from their own ID but to you it will display any thing they want for example you can get attractive message subject as Free software from Microsoft and you will also see that the email is from microsoft in the sender.

select the email, and press on "report as spam" or "this is spam" or something like that (can't remember the exact sentence). Mail provider should block those mails when you report them as spam!
