Spam Junk Spam

[Alison_S]

I have a Yahoo address and I keep getting all of these junk emails like "I am the President of x and you are to inherit a million dollars.." - you know the type and even though I have specified that these are spam I repeated get them in my inbox. Another classic is a repeated emailfrom Halifax and Barclays saying to re-register with my bank details (I dont even have a Halifax or Barclays account!) - of course these are cons so I never touch them.

So my question is; does anyone know how to permanantely spam an email address and all those addresses related to it on Yahoo?

Thanks!

Download Mozilla's Thunderbird mail browser and use that. It has a good Junk mail facility.

You could change the first part (or even just the first few characters) of your e-mail address to something which computers are unlikely to generate, such as a string of consonants or a mixture of letters and numbers.

You can set your Yahoo mail to accept NO mail into your bulk folder, or only to keep it for a very short time. Go to Options on your e-mail page, and reset these as you wish.
