  1. Once you begin to get spam it is next to impossible to stop it. It is started when you post your email address in any public forum or give it to an untrustworthy web site. If you are getting spam from a well known company there will be a link in the email to stop it. Never use the link with unknown companies. It just verifies your address. You can mark email as spam but Yahoo only stops it if there are multiple reports. If the address is constant you can add it to your blocked address list. Spammers keep changing the "from" addresses and even use the addresses of the people they are spamming. The best advice is protect your address and don't let spam start. Once started there is not much you can do.

    I have a Yahoo account I set up a few months ago for testing. It still has not had a single piece of spam. That proves that spam is not automatic. You must start it.

  2. You have to be careful when you enter your email address. Some sites trade information with other sites, so you can start getting emails from all of them. Just use the unsubscribe links in the emails to get off the lists.
