I have built my spam filters but I keep recieving spam with the exact words. I delete them as spam but how do I get the filters to block the listed items?

  5. I cant tell you why it happens but i originated a trick which worked like wonders. Put a auto reply (vacation mesasge) in your yahoo mail with maximum validity. I have typed this for myself "If you are a SPAMMER, you are eligible for a lawsuit. for more details go to http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/pr/release118... Spammers will be taken to court for litigation." Everytime any mail or some spam comes, this messages goes back to its email inbox to scare them. Belive me, i get only 3-4 spam messages a week now compared to 250-300 messages earlier. My this reply is working for other guys on yahoo answers. They are quite happy and excited about it that their yahoo spam has come down. Try this.. and get back to me if it works i am available at deepakgd@msn.com
  6. Go into your email and click on Options (on the right hand side of your screen). Go through each option and save your settings. Make sure you have your bulk folder set to be automatically deleted. Make sure you have all mail that is not yours deverted to your bulk folder. Make sure your Spam Guard is turned On. When you get to Block Address, type in spammer.com. This will stop all spam that has been reported to Yahoo already from ever getting to your email. Always, make sure you send all unknown or unwanted email to spam. Good Luck!
