    Within the Spam settings -- add them to "Blocked Email Addresses" ?

    or you could use a filter to simply move the email direct to the Trash ? although you would still have to empty the trash.

    In case it's not clear - to get there [from Yahoo Beta] - it's Options/More Options/Spam.

    Question is a little vague, do you mean how to stop someone sending to Yahoo from your PC? because you cannot stop any one sending emails to Yahoo from their PC. but you can stop them from yours , or do you want to just bin certain ones from being viewed on yours?

    Yahoo says -

    Mail from these addresses will not be delivered to your mailbox.

    I think that's probably what viv. is after :)
