Can anyone tell me how to block/stop mail I keep getting in my bulk mail box? I get a least 3 a day, all from different people but working for the same company, but if I reply saying 'stop sending mail' it just bounces back saying it's not a mail address.
ITS DRIVING ME MAD !!!!!!!

Do NOT reply to spam / bulk email or bother trying to use an Unsubscribe link. Either typically just confirms to the sender that they have reached a valid / active email account and thus they know where to continue to send their junk mail. Instead, you generally will just have to rely on the Bulk / Spam folder catching the messages or use a spam filter if you use a mail client such as Outlook. If your email package has the ability to report spam email, like Hotmail, you can use that option to help them track it as well as being added to a block list; however, spammers typically make regular changes to their sender account to get around block lists.

Report the e-mails to your ISP to have the IP address of the sender blocked. Visit the following page for information on where to report spam: http://www.cybertopcops.com/report_cyber_crime.php
A bit of advice, NEVER reply to spam e-mails, although the reply address won't work 99% of the time, you are exposing yourself to even more spam and you let the spammers know your e-mail address is active. It is best just to ignore the spam and report them to organizations who deal with them.

I have yahoo mail go to help menu, then to block email addresses. You have a box to type in the email address then just click on block. Hope this helps

never reply to such mail....in the mail reader (the thing that opens your mail) there should be a method of selecting certain emails to "block sender" click on the mail and the selection, following directions. Try "helps" if it's there at the top :)

dont reply or you'll get more and more, its not an actual person sending them, its a cheap ringtone company or whatever and its getting a machine to send them, if the machine picks up that you replyed, it will automatially send you more **** . and to get rid of the ones you keep getting, email customer care at yahoo and ask them to block the address you keep getting them from, hope that helps! xx

Simple. Since yahoo's bulk folder is really useless you should deactivate it and those dodgy e-mails will go straight to the trash folder.

You can go into settings and bock emails from that address.
Ok if a yahoo email youve got its called options (top right) then you can enter the offending address in 'block emails'

is it from a person? If so just dont reply, they are looking to see if anyone uses that address, and if someone does they unleash a bug into your drive
