You can try changing your filters so you only get e-mail from people in your address book, but that has its limitations.\n\nLegally there really isn't anything you can do. \n\nI had someone do this to me one time to be mean.  This girl put my name and e-mail address on every stupid list serve and junk mail group she could find.  I opened my e-mail one day and had over 1000 junk e-mails!!!  I had to get a new e-mail account.

Don't use your primary Email address to sign up for things on the internet.  Don't post that Email address anywhere unless it's to an Email to a friend (that you know personally) \n\nSpammers will get your Email from Signing up to websites to download files.  Web sites like MySpace (I do not know if they do this) will sell your Email address to spammers.  Your Email address can be 'read' off other websites, even posts here to Answers.\n\nThe only way not to get spam is just not to use your email.\nBut now that you are 'on the list'  the only way to 100% remove yourself is to delete that Email address and create a new one.

Use "spam" (a work that Yahoo! can use to help you block unwanted emails out) on him.

Not to Yahoo, unless you can determine that the source was a Yahoo account.  Send it instead to abuse@bankofamerica.com.  Many companies now have e-mail accounts named "abuse" or "spoof", to send such e-mails to.

There might not be a straight forward method of doing that through the Messenger. What you can do is open your Address book on Yahoo (address.yahoo.com) and delete the names from there that you don't want on your Messenger anymore. Think that should be the easiest way.

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.

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

try blocking their email address, using your spam function. if they use different email addresses, block all of them, or you can choose to block all unknown email addresses, other than those in your address book. meanwhile, you can also report the abuse to your email provider. the address is usually abuse@provider.com, eg: abuse@hotmail.com, abuse@yahoo.com, etc.

If he's only accessing his account on the Yahoo website then someone is spoofing his email address to spam. If his account is setup in Outlook Express or another email program on his computer, it could be a virus on the computer itself.

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!

don't bother about it, just ignore it.\n           first thing no responsible email provider will close ur account without genuine reason,and secondly why would yahoo ask u forward the mail???If they want they can send mail to any yahoo account themselves,they don't require ur help[even the mail ids in ur mail box are stored on yahoo servers]

Use the REPORT SPAM button.  Your email service or email program (however you get your email) should have a spam guard feature.   Train it, and you will get your SPAM under control.\n\nIf you use eBay, then I recommend that you get a free email address at Yahoo for that purpose.  The Report Spam button is awesome for that purpose, and your real eBay activity won't WRECK your regular private e-mail. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

your SOL you can try to remove yourself from each email but I would suggest getting a spam blocker or getting a different email account.
