buctootim Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 Just keep adding the spam to the junk list and gradually over time it reduces - and stop giving your email address to dodgy websites and make sure you always untick the box where it says in code 'I consent to you selling my email address and personal details to anyone who will pay us 5p for them, no matter how much grief that will cause you'.

pedg Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 Once your email address is on one of these lists its impossible to stop it. Who do you use for your email and how do you access it (i.e. outlook, webmail, etc) as there are things you can do to try to make sure they are filtered out but exactly what depends on who you use for mail and how you access it.

Many ISP's have spam settings you can modify online to do things like tag subject lines with [sPAM] that allow you to filter those out. Otherwise might be worth looking at alternate email clients.

pedg Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 Yahoo. Odd, I use the the yahoo webmail interface all the time and its usually fairly good at sorting thing into the spam folder but possibly it does not do this if you download the email into outlook? In the webmail interface you can mark items as spam that do make it into your inbox which I think feeds back into their algorithms for identifying spam.
