How To Block Email Addresses And Domains In Yahoo Mail
Still getting spam email through Yahoo Spam Guard? Do you have an annoying friend who just won't leave you alone? Stop them from reaching your inbox, and automatically delete their messages by adding their email address or entire domain name (such as spammer.com) to the block address list in your Yahoo Mail account settings.
With blocked address list, Yahoo allows you to add up to 500 addresses and domains. Best of all, when a message is blocked, the email does not bounce back to the sender and they will never know what happen.
To set up a block address list, logon to your Yahoo Mail account and click on the Options link under the Search button. Then select Mail Options.
Next, select Spam in the left panel…
and start adding email addresses or domains to the Blocked Email Addresses list by typing in the field and clicking on Add.
When you are finished, don't forget to save your changes by clicking on the Save Changes button 
at the top of the main window (above the word Spam).
Later you can always come back and remove any email address or domain from the list by highlighting an entry and clicking on Remove (and saving your changes).

In your information on spam, it mentions configuring the Spam Guard tool to add the sender to the blocked address list when I mark a message as spam. I could not find out where to do this – please give specific steps so that I don't have to continually go to options and block the individual address or domain.

I think you may have mis-read the article. Spamguard can only be configured manually. Basically you are black listing addresses by adding them to the spam list.
How do I add spam already in the spam box to my blocked addresses without opening the message?
YEAH! Same as Miriam Umpleby : how do we? You can't add the address if you didn't open the email first and that could mean VIRUSES OR SPYWARE OR…How can we block senders or domains without opening emails or adding them ONE BY ONE in the block list? How can we block MULTIPLE senders or domains just by checking their emails? HOW????
((( I'm sick and tired of SPAM.I NEVER check the "i want to receive offers from partners…","i agree to give my informations to third part…" box. NEVER! Still get TONS of spam emails.
@Doina
Easy…right click on the message and select "View Full Headers" then look for the address next to the "From" field.
Unfortunately, I don't see a better way to do this with selecting multiple messages.
But…that means to open the mail.Because if you do that without opening, it will say "The selected message is still loading.Please wait a moment and try again".Don't you risk getting viruses if you OPEN the mail(from de spam folder) ? Am i missing something?
Isn't there a way to just receive email from your contact list only?
nice information regarding to block sender in yahoo.
I keep getting error on top left side of screen when i hit the save after adding a blocked email. It wont save entered email entries. Why and what could i possibly do?
I want to block a person by his name.Pls help me if i can do so.
As one person is creating his ID in different domain and send me emails.SO i wat to block that person by his name,Is it possible?
block google
Most of the scams will say a foreign name or it will say FEDX. Or it will say hello at the beginning. Its usually a strange greeting. All I do is delete as I go down the list
I can't open my e-mail, why? it keeps saying the certificate is expired what does that mean?
@Doina: You can't get a virus simply by opening an email. You have to physically click on any attachments that the email contain. THAT will give you virusus. I always show the preview pane below my inbox so that I can highlight the email address and copy and paste it into my spam blocker.
