What can I do, other than spaming and unsubscribing, to stop receiving junk email that I'm getting everyday?

I'm getting more than 200 junk emails everyday. I need to take care of this problem immediately. I tried spaming and unsubscribing. It's not working! This should not be happening.

Well unfortunately there is little that you can do, even spamming and unsubscribing from all of them probably will not work.





What I suggest is keeping that email address as a spam address and when ever you sign up for something on the net, use it and let them keep spamming that address and just mass delete every now and then. Also, do not forget, all those chain letters and stuff are the biggest cause of spam. When a spammer gets one of those emails, it is a gold mine for them; they grab the addresses off of them and start using them for their own spam. If you ever send one of those chain letters on, or anything that came to you with a ton of other peoples email address, use your spam address when forwarding it on to others, so it does not come back to you. Never reply to spam, it tell them it is a good address; it is a death nail for it. Then create a second address for the real email that you get from friends and business. You can always go back to a place that you have given your spam address and change it to your real address if you like the place and do not think they abuse email.





Hope that helps it works great for me.

Reply:unsubscribing does not work, once you hit the links on the spam mail, the only thing it does is confirm the validity of your email address.





Which email account are you using?. Yahoo allows you to filter your mail based on certain criteria like subject, sender, keyword in the body etc.





The best and the fool proof way is to open a new email address.
Reply:What you use for e mail? I only use my primary e mail for close friends...I have other e mail accounts to do my internet bidding....If you have an e mail account through your isp then change the name and password....tell your friends and dont use it for anything else.
Reply:go to your options click on the link that says "Spam Protection" then choose "Immediately delete these messages upon receipt" that will delete all that goes to the bulk folder without you ever seeing them. It won't affect you receiveing things from parents or friends either just crap that would already go to the bulk folder! Hope that helps!
