  2. 1. The most effective way to prevent spam from entering your inbox is to use SpamGuard Plus. Help increase SpamGuard Plus's effectiveness by sending examples of spam to Yahoo! to review: When you receive a message that you believe is spam, click the "Spam" button at the top of the message screen in Webmail. Yahoo! will use the messages you send to constantly improve the SpamGuard Plus technology. Note: This feature is available only to those users with Webmail and POP access to their mailboxes.

       2. Yahoo! Business Email offers you the ability to create filters for your mailbox. You can create filters to deliver emails to a special folder or to the Trash based on specific words or phrases they contain, a sender's domain, or any other characteristics you specify.

       3. Yahoo! Business Email allows you to prevent future email from a specific email address from being delivered to you at all. Note that many spammers frequently change their email addresses to avoid this technique.

    Yahoo! Business Email offers two ways to help you block junk mail:

        * If you receive multiple messages from the same source and would like to block the sender, you can set up a filter to match some unique part of the sender's address. Generally a name or a phrase in the body of the message works well, but as long as the sender always uses the same mailing address, filtering based on the From: field is very effective. Just set the destination folder to Trash.

          Note: Using filters to avoid unwanted mail doesn't actually prevent it from being sent.

        * You can also use the "Block Address" feature to automatically delete a sender's messages.

             1. From your inbox, check the box next to a message from the sender you want to block.

             2. Click the "Spam" button at the top of the page.

             3. The message will be marked as spam, and the sender's email address will be added to your Blocked Addresses list.

          Note: To use this option, make sure you have enabled blocking in your Spam Protection settings. To check your settings, click "Mail Options," then "Spam Protection." On the Spam Protection page, be sure that "Add the sender's email address to my blocked addresses list" is checked; when you're done, click the "Save Changes" button.
