How can I stop receiving so much spam mail?

Question

I get dozens every day and I am sick of it to tell you the truth.

Any help?

Answer 1

There is nothing you can do to stop spam. It is started by giving your address out to untrustworthy companies that sell it. It is also found on any forums that you post it on. You need an address for private mail that is preferably from a small ISP and is only given out to personal friends and major companies that you do business with, such as your bank.

Don't forget that your Yahoo email address is your Yahoo ID @ Yahoo.com. That is why it is so easy for someone to get it.

Don't forget that the Yahoo spam filter doesn't stop spam, it just puts it in another folder. You can add addresses by going to your spam options and adding them. It is probably fruitless since spammers keep changing their address.

Stop all mail from coming in your box except from known senders in your address book.  I am only allowing a certain friend through because I got so tired of all the junk mail.  You can allow however many addresses you want to allow through.
