Yahoo Mail address blocker.?

I want to block these spammers but to get their address to add to the block list, I would have to open their e-mail. I don't want to do that for obvious reasons. How can I achieve this? Thanks

Update:

Thanks for trying mr jingles but that involves opening the e-mail to see their address. Which i dont want to do. Any other ideas out there ?

    Blocking Spam mail was never very effective anyway, cause they change their addresses with each batch mailing, which allows them to slip past blocks. That's why Yahoo stopped automatically blocking them.

    Don't open----just start clicking the Spam tab, for the spam mail, and it will be transfered to your Spam folder, where it will go from then on.

    Step 2:

    Now--(only if you wish)--go to your Spam Protection and change the setting for the "preset deletion time" of the spam folder.

    Mail page>>options (top right)>>mail options (if available)>>spam protection.

    One month is usually the preset default---but you can change that to 1 week---or---(even better) delete spam immediately upon arriving in the spam folder. Be sure and "save" changes.
