How do I include the sender's add.of mess. in my bulk folder (spam) to my blocked email list?

How toI find out who sent the email.





Federal law strictly limits the information that online service providers like Yahoo! may disclose about their users. However, the email message itself contains some information relating to the sender's identity. In the headers of email messages sent via Yahoo! Mail, an Internet Protocol (IP) address that corresponds to the sender's Internet service provider (ISP) is included.





At the top of a message (above the date) is a line reading either "Standard Header" or "Compact Header." Click on this link, and a menu will drop down with an option for "Full Header." If you select "Full Header," a new window pops up containing the full header of the message. See it? It's got tons of computer gobbledygook, but it also has some information you can use.





You should be able to find a line that contains an 8 to 12 digit number, separated by periods. It might look something like this:





Received: from [123.456.78.91] by . . .





The "123.456.78.91" represents the unique IP address of the sender's ISP. Once you identify the IP address, you can run a "whois" search to determine which ISP provides this person with Internet access. If there's more than one Received: line, read them from top to bottom (the topmost is the most recent.)





There are several utilities available on the web to run a whois search. Here's one web site that can help you to determine which service provider is responsible for the IP address:

If the spam or abusive email is being sent from a Yahoo! Mail account and you are not using Yahoo! Mail, please forward an unedited copy of the message with full headers to abuse@yahoo.com.





We'll evaluate the situation and take action per our Terms of Service. Spamming from a Yahoo! Mail account is not acceptable.

It really depends on which email service you are using, but I will try to cover all the answers for you. 1st, Go to your email and see if there is anything obvious like a "Block" button. If not, try to see if you can click %26amp; drag your unwanted email to your spam folder. They also may allow you to mark the message as spam. After you do this, I think most email providers will automatically move all future emails from that particular person to your spam folder.





If non of these work, then look for an Options Button. Click it and it should take you to a list of options. There should be one that says Manage Your Mail, Spam, Block Messages, or something like that. Click onto it and follow the instructions. With Yahoo! they allow you to enter in the email address that you want to block. I think this is the one that you are looking for, right?





I hope that answered ur question... take care... ;-)
