I am getting 150-250 new spam messages each day.  How can I stop this? I can only block 500 messages.?

Spam is any message or posting, regardless of its content, that is sent to multiple recipients who have not specifically requested the message. Spam can also be multiple postings of the same message to newsgroups or list servers that aren't related to the topic of the message. Other common terms for spam include unsolicited commercial email (UCE) and unsolicited bulk email (UBE). \n\nThe individuals who send spam are typically people who purchased or harvested a list of email addresses. They send messages from numerous different addresses to all areas of the Web. \n\nAll mail originating from an ISP has an originating IP address embedded in the full address headers. This address helps to identify the sender of the email and track the individual to his or her service provider. Individuals who use an ISP address in their spam are forging mail headers if the originating IP line is absent in the spam.\n\nThe best way to prevent spam is to be careful with your email address. Spammers often create mailing lists by using scanning programs to search postings to Internet bulletin boards and newsgroups. One way to prevent this is to add an "x element" to your user ID when posting a message to any bulletin board or newsgroup. For instance, instead of MemberID@yahoo.com, your email address could read MemberIDX@yahoo.com or MemberIDnospam@yahoo.com. Try to be as creative as possible with both the placement and use of special characters. That way, even if a crafty spammer uses a user ID-scanning program, you'll have a better chance to beat it. (Just remember to remove the "x element" if you answer a post with email.) \n\nAlso, don't give out your email address without knowing how it will be used. Read the terms of use and privacy statements of any site before telling them your address. If you can't find their privacy statement, don't tell them your address. \n\nIf you get spam, do NOT reply, even if the message offers to unsubscribe you. A reply simply tells the spammer your email address is active and you'll get even more junk email. Please reference the article below What should I do if I get spammed? for more information.\n\nReport spam abuse. When you forward us the email, please be sure to include the full header. Without it, we can't tell where the email came from. Every complaint that is sent to us by Yahoo! members will be investigated. However, if the email does not come from an Yahoo! member, we will forward it on to their provider so that they may take action. \n\n**************\nWhat should I do if I get spammed?\n\nFor starters, do not reply to a spam email, even if the message offers to unsubscribe you. Never respond to the spam email's instructions to reply with the word "remove." This is a ploy to get you to react to the email and will alert the sender that your email address is open and available to receive mail, which greatly increases its value. If you reply, your address may be placed on more lists, resulting in more spam. \n\nNever click on a URL or web site address listed within a spam email. This could alert the site to the validity of your email address, potentially resulting in more spam. \n\nNever sign up with sites that promise to remove your name from spam lists. Although some of these sites may be legitimate, more often than not, they are address collectors. The legitimate sites are ignored (or exploited) by the spammers, and the address collection sites are owned by spammers. In both cases, your address is recorded and valued more highly because you have just identified that your address is active. \n\nReport spam abuse.

You must be in bcc. There's no way to stop them. They just keep coming. They should normally get to your bulk folder; so once a day have a quick look at all the mails [I mean the sender and the subject] in the Bulk folder, look to see if one your friends' mail has accidentally been delivered to you Bulk folder, mark it as Not Spam. If you dont recognize any sender, just do a 'Select All' and delete.

In Yahoo mail you can block the spammer's email address.  You'll never see the emails because they just get bounced back to the sender.  I believe you can block up to 500  addresses.  But having them go to your bulk folder is a good thing.  That just means the spam filters are working  :-)  You can  delete any addresses you don't recognize without reading them. If you DO recognize an address you can always open it, read it, and click the "this is not spam" button.

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.

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.

Just open up your spam folder and find it. Click on it and then click "not spam". That is if you are using Yahoo.

There is no way to get rid of it, unfortunately.\n\nThe worst thing to do is to reply to any of them. No matter what it says, never reply.\n\nThe only thing you can do is set up Junk Email filters to hopefully filter out the majority of it.

if you are talking about your Yahoo mail... the same thing has started happening to me recently.. the spammers are constantly looking for ways to get around the filters.. keep marking as spam.. it takes a while for Yahoo to catch up

There are 3 ways you can pursue:\n\n1. report their mail as spam & next time onwards their mails will automatically be sent to your spam/bulk folder.\n2. Block their e-mail ids & you will not receive any e-mail from them.\n3. Manually delete/ignore their mails.

unfortunately there is no one simple solution to keep out Spams. There are a few thinsg u can do. \n\n1. Do not give your email away freely on the website.\n2. Use filters in your email client to filter out spams from your Inbox.\n3. Find the unsubscribe link on the spam mail and unsubscribe.\n4. If you are at work, inform your IT administrator

There is no sureshot way of being able to filter or detect spam.\n\nIn Yahoo you could turn on the SpamGaurd (if its not already on) and allow all detected spam to go to your bulk mail folder. But even this does not ensure all spam will be removed.\n\nSincere advice: Try to avoid giving your email address(es) on websites that you do not completely trust.

You are a victim of spam.  They will enver, ever go away.\n\nMy advice, change your email address.

Yahoo has spam blockers.  In reality, you don't get rid of it, you just ignore it.  I get about 500 spams a day.  99% of them go to the spam folder so it's not a problem.

Hard to avoid.  Reporting spam and getting a spam blocker will help but I'm afraid it's pretty tough to avoid completely.

If we all knew the answer to this question there would be no more spam. ;)\nbut,  you can try a few things. \n1. check on the bottom of the email to see if there is a place to check to cancel these sends.\n2. block them with outlook express.\n3. Go to the website listed in the email and tell them to take you off the mailing list.\n4. set up a spam blocker, in yahoo.com emails you can click spam and from then on it will go into the spam box instead of your inbox.\n\nhope this helps
