Anyone have any suggestions on how I can stop spam?? Even when I click on spam on the emails, they still get delivered to my inbox. I never used to get any, never opened any, and now I am getting about 20 spam e-mails a day which as you can imagine is extremely annoying. Is there anyway at all possible to stop them??

Is this on hotmail or on the email address your ISP gives you?

I'm having the problems with my yahoo address (the one I give out) I have noticed a big increase in spam in my yahoo account too. Report them all to yahoo. NEVER reply to them

My spamguard is turned on, always has been. I've never replied to any of them, never even opened them (even closed my preview pane in order to prevent the sender seeing that the account is an active one) but to no avail. Some go to the spam box, but the majority, even with the same subject heading, end up in my inbox and its highly annoying...

We suddenly got loads a bit ago, there was a problem with the server at McAfee so i don't know if it could be related to yours- there's a problem with the server at yahoo? Get in touch with them and ask :)

Not much you can do except maybe see if yahoo give you a spam filter?

I use GMail and they have a very good spam filter. Let me know if you want an account and I can send you an invite
