Most of us are tired of the SPAM that we constantly get in our email systems. Finally there is a way to avoid it in our private communications. The new private email system offered by NewNetMail is totally SPAM FREE. You can share this Free download with friends and family members. You must approve each person that is permitted to send you mail. No email from the public email system can cross over. This is totally SPAM free. See more info in the link below.

On Yahoo when you open the email, there are 5 option buttons on the top of the message. (Delete, Reply, Forward, Spam, Move)
Click on the spam one, it will automaticaly send any emails from the address to your Bulk folder. I am not sure how to block an email address.
