How To Block Email Addresses And Domains In Yahoo Mail

yahoomaillogo.jpgStill 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  yahoblockaddress5.png 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?
