I would suggest that someone has got hold of your address or it has got onto a list of 'verified' email addresses - these things sell for $$$! Verifying an email address is relatively simple ... many spam mails contain an invisible link to a website.  As soon as you open a junk mail, it can register a hit on that site and then knows that your addy is valid ... regardless that you delete the mail straight away!\n\nThere are also robot programs which invent email addresses using a known domain - e.g. ...@tiscali.net or some such. It may be that one of these programs has decided to hit your ISP or email provider.\n\nThere are a number of programs which will catch spam for you but they mostly work on downloaded (POP3) email.  Look for ones which have a Bayesian filter ... Spambayes is a good one for Outlook, for example.

It may be a spam-blocker setting.

Use filter system(ie SPAM in yahoo) to block those addresses which the junk mail are from!  They will be stored in the Bulk Folder and you can empty the folder whenever you like!(the storage in this folder does not count towards your storage space!

Might be caused by something other than this, but I would recommend you run a virus and spyware scan.\n\nVirus and Trojans are famous for doing these things to email pages.\n\nRead more about it at this site.

Check and see if maybe it's going into your junk e-mail folder.  Sometimes things go there if they have certain word combinations.

spam mail is junk from websites that carry viruses or spyware, or popups, just junk that you should not go to cause sometimes they are web sites that dont even exist.

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.

bring your PC to www.TrendMicro.com and click the link for Housecall.  Its an online Spam and virus scanner.  It should find most of the garbage out there.  If that doesn't work open your task manager and find out what process is using up all your system resources.  Then search that process in google and there's a ton of web sites out there that will tell you if its part of Windows, a legit program you installed, a Virus or Spam. GoodLuck

when you hit the message it probably went to a spam/trash folder. Try to find the message again and hit the "not spam" button, so it won't be considered a spam next time the person emails you.

because of poor filters from most ISPs. I suggest you get an anti spam program from McAfee or Symantec. They are way more powerful and should help eliminate your unwanted mail.

Depends on the email program.  Try finding options or preferences within the email client and then look for "spam."\n\nYahoo has options in upper right, then block addresses lower left, then you highlight and click remove block

You could use Thunderbird to check your email. It has adaptive spam filters:\n\n"Each email you receive passes through Thunderbird's leading-edge junk mail filters. Each time you mark messages as spam, Thunderbird improves its filtering so you can spend more time reading the mail that matters. Thunderbird will also use your mail provider's spam filters to keep junk mail out of your inbox."
