You have to go to Options and then Block Address and so you can unblock your blocked contancts. At least it works fot Yahoo!

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.

Don't worry! This is easy to fix. When you clicked "Spam," the message went into your Spam folder.\n\n1. Open the Spam folder by clicking it in the folder list on the left of the page \n2. Click the message that you marked spam by mistake. \n3. Click the "Not Spam" button along the top of the window.\n\nDone! Ahhhh, sigh of relief.

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

It depends on how you received the message.  If it came via email, you can adjust your spam filters to specifically block the sender. If you're using Yahoo email open it up. In the upper right corner, in blue letters, you'll see "options".  Click on this and you can customize your filters. You can also click on the Help link (usually right above the options link) and submit an abuse report to Yahoo. Other email providers have similar links.  If you received the message by some other means (instant messaging, etc.) you'd probably have to be logged in to that specific service and click on their help link.  Just about every reputable site has a help link or contact us link to report this kind of abuse.\n\nplrr

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.

Download a little program called Mailwasher. When you have mailwasher on your system set it up to your account that is getting hit with spam. After you have done all that check your mail. Also in the program you can delete any e-mails before they are sent to your mail program. Click on the link below to learn more about this cool little program and there is also the free download on that site.  Good Luck...

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 need to 'train' your junk filter about what is and what isn't junk.\n\nGo through your spam folder and mark the 'Not Spam' as just that. After a few dozen messages your spam filter will start to get better at working out what is and isn't spam coming to you.\n\nThis is, of course, assuming you haven't put a 'bad' rule into your spam filter telling it to send everything to 'spam'.\n\nFinal idea use Thunderbird instead of Outlook Express and thereby get access to its better implemented spam filtering.\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/\n\n///\n\n///

What software? Yahoo email?\nIf it is, go to Options/Spam Protection and verify if the flag for "Add the sender's email address to my blocked addresses list" is set, if you don't know already.\nIf it is selected, don't change it. Just go to Options/Block Addresses. Find the address of interest (it's in alpha sequence), select it and hit Remove Block.\nYou're done.\nYahoo! doesn't flag email as spam just because one person flagged it that way. It take high volume before they take action.

It is very likely that your company has installed some default filters at the Exchange server level. You can't access those without permissions. You can however ask the system administrator to provide guidelines and training about what to avoid in your message subject and address lines and in the message body so that you will not trigger the filters for a legitimate message. A problem with all filters is that they do not exercise judgement. They simply execute code. Filters are set up to exclude things that "usually" are more likely in spam than in regular mail. They are a long way from perfect. If you know the rules that have been set up though you can dodge being filtered.

Buy and use a spam filter, or use the ones provided by your ISP to filter the spam into a Junk Mail folder. You can also use Outlook to create Rules to block by content--- go to the Help tool and search for Rules. You really can't stop them from coming--- once the spammers know your address is valid, there is not much you can do. The link below will tell you some good tips for not getting on those lists in the first place.

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.
