Unwanted spam ?

Good Evening, is there a way I can put a stop to all my junk mail that's concerned with enlargements for example ( if you get my drift) I know some junk emails can be unsubscribed to but all these don't have an option. Thank you.

NEVER (I mean REALLY NEVER) unsubscribe from junk you never subscribed to. This will verify you email address and you will get even more.

As above.

If you unsunscribe you confirm the email address is one thats used and you get moved upto the GOLD list. They get more money for those.

Set your spam filter?

Depends how you receive your mail. If you use a client like Thunderbird or Outlook there are some quite powerful filters you can set up to process incoming mail. If you use webmail, you're at the mercy of your mail provider's web client, many of which offer very little in the way of filters.

Or sadly change your email address :-(

Hi I don't use any of those I don't think ,certainly not Thunderbird. I do remember once a while ago I read that you could put a word eg. P...s in and any mail that came with that word would be blocked. Don't know how or where I came across it though

So what email provider/client are you using? Without that information it's impossible to say what filtering options are available to you.

How are you accessing your emails?

If you don't do this already, go into the BT Yahoo website and make sure you mark the dodgy ones as Spam. (Also check that your Spam box for real emails; I find some get marked as Spam incorrectly.)

If you are using outlook or thunderbird you can also create rules so you don't download any messages with certain words or phrases and you can also block email address' and domains.
