For the 7th time what happens when I designate email as spam? Is it blocked? Or will I get more of the same?

Question

Why can't I get this answered?

Answer 1

it will block the address of that particular spam, but Yes, you can count on getting more, be careful where you input your email addresses.. Good Luck

Answer 2

What I do about spam that may help you there.

Open another email account and used it as a spam address. when you have to sign up for something use that address and that will cut down on the amount of spam in the email box that you used for more important stuff or business.

Answer 3

one thing happens - the e-mail address of the sender will be stored and if in the future a new mail with the exact same address comes in, it will be stored in the spam folder or blocked completely (depends on your settings).

but in my experience it is pretty useless to designate mail as spam. spammers seldom use the same address twice.

Answer 4

it will block it and some sounding like it, but those spam programs are pretty crafty people you will definately get more spam unless you spend tons of money on a program like baracuda, but that is outrageous price if it is just for a home or small business computer.

Never respond to them asking to be taken off their list because they will then know the address is active and you will get tons more.

Answer 5

You are not getting a definitive answer because your question is not specific enough.
The answer depends upon the email provider that you are using.
Some will delete before you see them. Others will put them in the bulk folder. Still others will put them into a folder "blocked".
Remember - Rubbish in, rubbish out.

Answer 6

From experience, when u report e-mail as spam, it goes to ur junk e-mail and is automatically deleted within a few days. It doesn't count on ur e-mail(inbox) storage. It is removed from ur inbox and will always be redirected to junk mail. Hope this helped.

Answer 7

repport as spam to the ebmaster on the domain that the spam is coming from

Answer 8

★★ BLOCKING SPAM AT YAHOO! ★★

◙ Below is an email message from Yahoo's Mail Abuse Team showing the correct ways to block spam in Yahoo Mail.

◙ We understand your concerns about receiving unsolicited email, and can certainly empathize with your frustration. Yahoo! Mail offers several tools to help you keep spam out of your Inbox. To find the following tools (except "This Is Spam") click on OPTIONS in your mail account.


◙ 1. "This is Spam" link -- The most effective way to prevent spam from entering your Inbox is to use the "This is Spam" link next to the "From" address in every message you consider spam. By sending examples of spam to Yahoo! for review, it will increase the effectiveness of Spamguard, Yahoo! Mail's filtering system. Yahoo! will use the messages you send to constantly improve the Spamguard technology and help ensure that unwanted messages are delivered to your Bulk Mail Folder rather than your Inbox.

◙ 2. Filters -- Yahoo! Mail offers you the ability to create filters for your account. You can create filters to deliver emails to a special folder, or to the Trash folder that:

* contain specific words or phrases
* are from a sender's domain
* contain other characteristics you find in spam
◙ Learn more about setting up filters at the Help Desk, located at:

☞ http://help.yahoo.com/help/mail/manage/manage-06.html

◙ 3. Block an address -- Use this feature to block email addresses you do not want to receive email from. When an address is blocked, incoming email from these addresses will be automatically disposed of, without bouncing back to the sender. When you remove an address from your Blocked Addresses list, you will once again be able to receive mail
from that address. For directions on how to block an email address, please visit:

☞ http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/read/read-22.html

◙ 4. Report the spam -- If you receive harassing or unwanted mail from what appears to be a "@yahoo.com" address, you can forward the message directly to us for review at:

[e-mail]

◙ Please include an unedited copy of the original message along with the full Internet headers. To learn how to display full headers in Yahoo! Mail, please visit:

☞ http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/config/config-11.html

◙ If you receive unwanted mail from a non-"@yahoo.com" address, you may try contacting the sender's email provider by identifying the sender's domain and contacting the administrator of that domain. Unfortunately, Yahoo! has no control over activities outside its service, and therefore we cannot take action in these situations. The sender's provider should be in a better position to take appropriate action against the sender's account.
