    =====================================

    "USUALLY" just clicking on SPAM after placing a

    check mark to the left of the email when you

    receive the message will direct it to your SPAM

    FOLDER and any subsequent emails will go there.

    If the email has been opened click on SPAM

    above the text area. If that does not stop them...

    see below. You also have the option of clicking

    on MORE above your Inbox and then clicking

    on BLOCK.

    =======================================...

    BLOCKING ADDRESSES IN YAHOO MAIL

    https://my.help.yahoo.com/kb/mail-for-desktop/bloc...

    =======================================

    USE FILTERS IF THEY CONTINUE

    Hover your pointer over the GEAR..upper right

    ..while in the INBOX view...then click on

    SETTINGS...go to the left and click on Filters

    =======================================

    If you are not absolutely sure where the email came

    from and you open it up DO NOT use the

    UNSUBSCRIBE option as this just confirms your

    email address as being a good one.

    =======================================...

    You might consider this as another option. Using

    disposable email addresses. You could use those

    for specific reasons (or all reasons) and if you start

    receiving too many spam emails you can delete it

    and create another one.
