According to the anti-spam experts, we are seeing far more spam mails now than ever before. And the spammers are becoming more clever about getting past the spam filters. That's why more spam is making it to the Inbox instead of going straight to the Bulk/Spam folder, and why some of your good mails are ending up in the Bulk/Spam folder. There are a few basic things we can all do to keep spam to a minimum...


1. Spam mails that go straight to Bulk/Spam should be left there, unopened. You can empty that folder any time you want, but never NEVER open spam mails. DON'T try to unsubscribe from anything and DON'T click any links in those mails.


2. Spam mails that land in your Inbox should be marked as Spam so that they are moved to the Bulk/Spam folder and placed on the Blocked list. (Blocking an address prevents mails from being received from that address again in the future.)


3. Any email that you are the least bit suspicious about should be deleted immediately. Don't let curiosity get the better of you. Simply opening a spam email out of curiosity could alert the spammers that you have an active email address (they probably didn't know it before), to which they will undoubtedly send TONS of spam mail in the future.
Reply:Look for unsubscribe links in the mail.
Reply:All you have to do is tell or email your Friends that you don't like those chain letters! I get them too and I just tell the ones I know that I don't participate in those and it has stopped!





Besides, I was told it's illegal, anyway. (not sure about that and if it's so.)
Reply:Turn on your spam protection. Click on the Options link in the upper right of your yahoo mail page.


Click on "Spam Protection" fill out the form, then click "Save Changes."


Now, when you get these unwanted emails, check the box next to them, go to the top of the page and click the "Spam" button.


Every message you report in this way trains your Spam Guard filters to work better for you.


The messages you selected will be deleted and reported as "Spam" and the senders of the messages will be added to your blocked addresses list.
