I use yahoo for e-mail. After a year of zero spam I have found spam the past 2 days. Why? How do I stop it?

Don't open it. And if you do, don't go to the bottem and click on where it says "remove me from your mailing list" Thats a trick they use to find out if its an active mailbox. Once you do that, they add you to more and more lists. Turn on your yahoo Spam guard. Its under Mail options. When ever you get spam, put a check in the box next to its name and hit "Spam" up at the top of Yahoo mail.\n\nSomeone might have signed you up for an offer, or they might have sent out a mass email and lucked out with getting you.   Good luck

You could just quit using that one and create another one. Or you could go to your Mail Options and set it to delete spam on arrival. And you can mark emails as spam so they would be sent to your bulk folder which would get deleted before you ever see them.

All the mails that you mark as spam will go to your bulk folder henceforth. Thats cos you get to check those only if you want to. If you Yahoo, then simply click on the 'empty' button next to bulk even before you check mail. All will be fine.\nAnd yes, dont click on the 'remove from list' or 'unsubscribe' link in such mails as said before.

if you receive too many e-mails I would recommend you to change your e-mail address. If you open a Yahoo account use every tool to prevent spam since the beginning. \nAddress Guard (yahoo) is excellent for that. \nA couple of years ago I had the same problem, 200 mails daily.

When you log in to Yahoo Mail, look for the Mail Options link.  In there is a link to the Spam Filter.  Try looking in there.  Hope this helps.

Create an email account and don't ever ever ever give that email to any website only to your family and friends/work.\n\nCreate another email address for when you need to enter addresses online.\n\nThis is the best way to stop spam in your main email account.

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

That's a good question, I know they were working on it a short time ago, but I have noticed that more spam is in my in box and I did not give out my email address but what I do is check the email boxes that I know are spam and click the spam box above , you should get a thank you notice from yahoo if this is done correctly.  And if persists contact yahoo.

Yahoo is considering your domain as a SPAM. Because your domain not in yahoos database. Once the user move a spam mail to inbox, it will automatically park the next coming mailz to inbox. This is not an error to correct, i guss.\n\ncheers\n\nShaba!

Then don't respond for their e-mails, when you respond, they'll just send your e-mail to other people and then, give you more spam. Just a simple process:\n\nRecieve spam? Then delete spam.

Spam is part of having email. It will happen. It's not that hard to hit the delete button. Sure, it's annoying...but just delete them. Spamblocker does help, but it only catches about 75% of mine. But I'd rather delete 10-12 emails a day than 50. Antvirus has nothing to do with spam. Unless you open infected files. Don't even open spam (mine is set to view the content without opening it). Just delete it. McAfee is pretty good on antivirus and firewall, but I used a trial on their spamblobker. It sucks. It was more of a pain to go sort through that crap. It rather just hit delete.

u might need to turn your Yahoo! spam filter off

If you have a web mail address your best option is to use the "mark as spam" function (or something similar).  \n\nHowever, if you use Outlook or Outlook Express (or something like that) you should switch to Mozilla Thunderbird (free, mozilla.com), it will block most of your spam if you use the "mark as junk" feature.  \n\nAlso, if by "addresses that resemble mine" you mean they are  using the same email provider (@ISP_Name.com), using Thunderbird's message filters can usually eliminate all of that type of spam--think "To and CC lines contain (@My_ISP.com) and don't contain (My_Email_Address)". There are also options if your email generally is contained in the To or CC lines.  Just be sure to have it move mail thought as junk to the junk folder, not delete it--although it has NEVER mistaken something that wasn't junk for something that was while I've been using it, it is better to be safe than sorry.\n\nIf all else fails, change your email address and be more careful with it next time.  Make a "spam" yahoo (or other free web mail) account; if a website needs an email address, and you are not sure if they are legitimate, give them your "spam" yahoo account--you can always check it periodically for anything good.

This is because one of your emails was reported as spam, by a yahoo user. Unforturnately, their is no way for you to be removed from the spam database, as many entries of spammers are sent every second.

Change your spam protection so that you can only receive messages from people in your address book. If you're using Yahoo, you'll want to turn on  your spam filter (do this in options) and set it as high as it can go.

Just go to www.yahoo.com and sign up.  It's free.  I've been with them for years and there's never been a problem with spam or pesty pop-ups.
