how does one keep from getting foreign e-mails like the uk lotto?

The only way to guarantee that you do not receive foreign email that comes from various addresses is to block the entire domain. For example if they all come from yahoo.co.uk just put that in the blocked address list. That will also block any honest email, such as any friends in the UK using Yahoo.

§

Force spamers to misspell words because your SCREENER words like lotto and contest filter them out. The ones who do get thru usually misspell making an obvious spam message.

Some change email annually and use old one for contests saving MAIN one for personal/family communications.

log in to yahoo mail

-click options

-click block address

-type their email address

- click 'add block'

now when they send you emails they will be deleted immediately as soon as you receive them

your on the "list". Answering them even just for a joke, puts you on the "active: list.

Limit where your e-mail appears on the net ... MySpace ... online ads .. Craigslist ... to limit your exposure to these scams.

Claim it ALL has spam it wont stop it ..But it will slow it down.
