Blocking Junk Mail with Filters

Yahoo! Mail offers two ways to help you block unwanted messages:

1. 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.  Set the destination folder to Trash.

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

2. You can also use the "Block address" link. This is located to the right of the email address of people who send to your account.  By clicking on the "This is Spam" hyperlink, you'll add the sender's address to your Blocked List. You can create a list of up to 100 addresses from which you would prefer not to receive email.

Click the "Sign Out" hyperlink to protect the privacy of your messages.  This is located near the top right side of Yahoo! Mail.  Always be sure to sign out!
