This has happened twice now. Someone is sending mail advertising a website to my address book. Do I need to close my yahoo account? I have alot of of mail coming to that address and don’t really want to change it. Please help me with this.

Black list it by marking it as spam it will stop them from sending you e-mails anymore.

HAVE EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK BLACKLIST THEM BY REPORTING THE MAILING FROM THEM AS SPAM

Make the 1st entry into your Address Book AAAAAA
This is an old work around and has protected every Address Book I’ve ever had. Anyone hacking in can’t get past it to the entries below. I’m supposed to give you a source I guess, it’s just something I was told several years ago and I’ve never had an Address Book violated.
