Answer 2

Once your email address is on a spammers list it is almost impossible to get off. Right now, your e-mail address (along with millions of others) is on a CD being sold from the back rooms of software shops from Bangladesh to Botswanna and from Norway to the Netherlands.

However there are several things that you can do to prevent even more spam.

1. Start by removing your e-mail address from your Yahoo profile,if it is on it. The spam-industry has programs that are continusously crawling the web looking for the "@" symbol which is a sure sign the the word before it and the domain name after it is an e-mail address!

2. Use a longer address. The spam industry uses programs that try sending e-mail to all known domain names. Example: a program might start trying to send out e-mails to everyone starting with [e-mail] and continue down to [e-mail]. Using a longer e-mail address will make this harder to do.

3. Never click the "Unsubscribe Link" in any e-mail. This will only confirm to the spammers that your e-mail address is indeed real and that you are reading their garbage. In fact, do not even open any e-mail from anybody you don't know or trust. Many spams are not only annoying but contain viruses of other malware. Just delete 'em without opening 'em!.
You can however click that "Unsubscribe Me" button from businesses that are well known and that you trust. Walmart... yes. Someone selling Viagra...no.

4. Open up a second e-mail account. Whenever, a website requires you to register using your e mail address, use this secondary address. There are many unscrupulous websites that will sell you address to others or bombard you with spam themselves.

5. Download a free copy of SiteAdvisor. SiteAdvisor will alert you when you search (Google, Yahoo, MSN, search only) of websites that are known to send out spam. This can help you avoid registering with any sites that are known to spam people.

Treat your e-mail address just like you would your telephone number or home address....only give it out to those that you absolutely trust!

Most mail server has a bulk folder, if you have your filter on, the bulk folder will catch all bulk mail, it will not come into your regular mail inbox...Here in Yahoo, there is a bulk mail folder, so let the folder catches the bulk mail as in 30 day it will be deleted automatic anyway..Now if you want to stop receiving the mail, write down all the names and the advertising email address and place them in the block sender area this will stop them completely....I had to do this myself a few years ago so I know that this does work, if you have any problems, get intouch with me..Good Luck

There is really nothing you can do to "not receive any". However, unsubscribing is actually a bad thing. This lets the spammer know the email address is a watched address. They then sell this list to other spammers. Just delete them. Welcome to the junk mail of the 21st century.

For marriage mail (pennysaver or ADVO), there is either an address or website to tell them you want to be taken off the list.

Otherwise, go to www.dma.com to get off most of the national bulk mail lists

Answer 6

Here is how I have stopped it. I have two email addresses- One I give out to my family and friends and One I use whenever I sign up for something online. This has really helped- I don't get any spam to my personal address- only to my spam address. I would suggest getting a new email address and using your current address as a spam only address.
