How to Add an Email Address to Yahoo!'s Block List

Adding an email address to your blocked list is a good way to avoid spam mail.

Adding an email address to your Yahoo! blocked list keeps unwanted emails from specific senders out of your inbox. When a sender is added to your blocked list, all of the person's incoming emails are automatically deleted. The email is not bounced back to the sender. You can add up to 500 email addresses to your Yahoo! blocked list. You can even add a domain to your Yahoo! blocked list.

Instructions

1. Open a Web browser and access your Yahoo! email account. Log in using your Yahoo! ID and password.

2. Click "Options" in the top menu and select "More Options" from the drop-down list.

3. Click "Spam" in the side panel to view the options for blocking email addresses.

4. Scroll down to the "Blocked Email Addresses" section and enter an email address to block. Click "Add." You can also enter a domain name in this field. The domain is the portion of the email address following the "@" symbol.

5. Click "Save Changes" and future emails from the blocked sender will be automatically deleted.
