Are they all from same source? Then you can SPAM REPORT them.\n\nElse you might need to get a new account.\n\n\n--- ► λ ◄

There is NOTHING you can do to prevent SPAMMERS from sending their CRAP,\nYou can only be diligent in setting up domain blocks and content filters that delete/move the incoming emails to the trashbin (or other preselected folder) upon arrival.

Everyone else answered your first and last question, so you should know what spam is now.\n\nThe most important question, "How to avoid it," has not been answered, and most people don't seem to figure it out, and would rather waste their time fighting it and installing new software and doing "maintenance."\n\nThe best way to do away with spam, is to open a second email account, and never, ever, ever sign up online for anything on the internet with that account. \n\nNow that the internet folks have your email address, it will only get worse as they sell your information to others, pass it around, trade it for other information, and generally expand the proliferation of your email address.\n\nAlmost all ISP's offer multiple email addresses, or you can get a freebie from Yahoo or MSN or whatever. \n\nNot only the "best" way, but the only way to do away with spam is to create a clean email account, and don't give it away to people you don't know. Nobody can use your email that you don't give it to. Use your spammed account to chat or join rss feeds or groups.\n\nGood luck fighting the old account. It's a losing battle.\n\nIncidentally, I have an email account I use strictly for my business that has never received one email I didn't want; not one piece of spam in over a year. What a pleasure it is to use, when you know waiting email is something you need or want. No more time wasted for unneccessary "maintenance" and fiddling with filters and blockers and the latest new spam program.

I get about 30 to 50 of these per day.  All from different email accounts and on multiple accounts of mine.  There is not much you can do other than report.  It is rather annoying.

You cannot stop spam once it starts. The key is to never, ever, make your email address public. Do not join any group and have your address visible, as there are people out there who love to add you to their lists.\n\nI use more than one account. For instance, the one I use here is the one I used to have friends use, but after a couple of years, the junk mail got horrible, so I opened a new account and gave my personal friends that address. \n\nI have a few accounts. One I use for business, and only certain businesses get that address.\n\nAnother I use to join online forums and mailing lists.\n\nOne of my accounts gets a lot of spam, and fortunately, most goes directly into the bulk mailbox, which I do not look at. I imagine, in the future I will totally close one account once the spam filter gets overrun.\n\nsometimes the bad spam comes because an acquaintance gets mad and gives your email address to an unsavory site...\n\nOpen a new account or two and keep the addresses private!

The only way that I know of to get rid of it is to go into every e-mail and unsubscribe from their mailing list. Usually, you get on those website's mailing lists when you sign up for free offers, promotional things, or download something from a website where you have to give them you're e-mail.\n\nTo prevent junkmail and spam from interfering with my personal messages, I have two e-mails, one for families and friends and the other that I use to sign up for online programs and things.

>In Yahoo Mail "which is what I use" I don't think you can stop spam.I have tried.At least they put it in the Bulk folder and messages in your Bulk folder do not count toward your mailbox storage quota.You can delete them if you want or Yahoo will automatically delete them after thirty days.You are supposed to be able to unsubscribe but it didn't work for me.The more I unsubscribed the more I got.Changing your email address is probably the only way to stop it,and then only for a short while.

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.

if it's yahoo email, go to your email ... go to options in the upper right, there is a thing there to make Spam Not Spam

Change your spam option to 'immediately delete ...', use the 'block address' option. In yahoo, you can block up to 500 address and also use the 'filters option' to direct spam to your trash. In addition I have done following in the past as well:\n\n1) Automatically empty your bulk folder (i.e. delete). Don't even bother going to the bulk folder.\n\n2) Create folders for the email that you are interested in and then set up those emails to go directly to target folders (via the filter option). This way you only read the emails in those folders and anything else is your IN box is spam. Then you can just delete those emails in you IN box.\n\nIf all fails, get a new email account and stop clicking on pop up ads, links, signing up for offerings. Any of these actions can get you to opt-in without knowing it. Then the spam cycle can start all over again.

If you're using Yahoo email, open it up and look in the upper right corner for "options" in blue letters.  Click on options and you should see a submenu for managing spam (also in blue letters). Click on that and you can adjust your spam settings.\n\nplrr

There's a lot of iterations of this trash mail.  There are also a lot of scripts that just look through web pages for email addys to find victims to spam.\n\nCheck out www.419eater.com for a laugh and more info.

You can't really stop spam.\n\nYou can get a better filter, but it may filter out some "good" messages (from family, friends, companies that need to send you information on warranties, recalls, rebates, etc.)\n\nThe best idea is to get a new email address, make it hard to guess (not the same as any other email account you see anywhere), be more careful who you give it to. Then open another email address to use when you register with various sites on the web, such as news sites, ESPN, etc., that you don't care if you ever hear from. maybe you can use your current email address as your secondary address, since it's already attracting spam.
