I keep getting emails from adult websites. They do not have an unsubscribe link. How do I get off their email?

#1: Yahoo has a spamguard filter, but only if multiple users report an address as spam will it be treated as such by the filter.





You have a personal list for blocking addresses in spam options. Anything you mark as spam in Mail classic will be added to that list, in New Yahoo mail adding addresses to the list has to be done manually. If you ever receive anything from those addresses in the future, it will be deleted automatically, you won't even notice when you got some more crap from them. One problem though: the list of blocked addresses is limited to 500 and spammers often change their address. So you must sometimes delete some of the older blocked addresses to make room for new ones.





Go to this link where everything is explained in detail:

#2: The Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) is supposed to help you eliminate spam mails. Forward spam to: spam@uce.gov, in the subject line enter something like "unsubscribe link results in more spam", "unwanted spam message", "no unsubscribe link" or something similar.





When the FTC gets your mail, they will look into the matter and when they find out who the spamming source is, they will take legal actions.

#3: Check Iconix, once it is installed, it can easily identify whether a mail is Spam or comes from a trusted site, thus helping you to decide whether to open a mail or not. Mail services supported so far:





Yahoo!Mail


AT%26amp;T Yahoo! Mail


Gmail


Earthlink


AOL Webmail


MSN Hotmail


Windows Live Hotmail


Outlook 2003


Outlook Express 6.0


AIM Webmail





Not supported are other mail services and also not MAC and Linux.

#4: Check Mailwasher, it helps to eliminate spam from your inbox...





Set up your email account(s) in MailWasher and hit the "Check Mail" button. It then downloads all new message headers and displays message details alongside each one (priority, subject, from, to, etc.). Any email that MailWasher considers to be spam is highlighted for easy sorting.





Two checkboxes are located next to each message header: "Delete" and "Bounce". If you click "Delete" the email will be marked for deletion, click "Bounce" and the mail will be marked for bouncing - a fake "address not found" email will be sent to the sender. Once you have decided what to bounce and delete, click "Process Mail" to get it done and your mail client launched for downloading all accepted emails.





MailWasher has a "blacklist" and a "friends list" to enter good and bad email addresses. Addresses in the blacklist are marked for deletion, and addresses in the friends list will be marked as okay. Filters can be set to increase MailWasher's effectiveness. You can have email addressed to "undisclosed recipients" automatically deleted and bounced for example.





Note: the program is free but limited to one email account, and doesn't include Hotmail support. MW Pro supports multiple mail accounts.

I keep getting emails from adult websites. They do not have an unsubscribe link. How do I get off their email?
The main way you get off their mailing list is to stop opening and reading them. You are obviously doing that because you state they don't have an "unsubscribe link." No, they don't and won't. You are sending them your real email address every time you open spam. You notify the spammer that he has a real, live address and he collects and sells that information to other spammers, and Guess What? You start getting the kind of crap you are now getting. Use the spam button - that's what it's for.
Reply:you most likely have a virus or Trojan on your PC that came in thru the internet. everyone should have a good virus protection program - your internet service provider probably has a free one you should use regularly. Yahoo uses Norton's and when installed it will run automatically and keep your system free of junk like this.
Reply:You can use the filters and address blocker to send them straight into the trash file. Dont open them, reply or click on any links. Hopefully you will gradually get moved down the list to send spam to and eventually disappear. Otherwise you might end up getting 100+ a day like I am at the minute!
