How do you block all the spam mail received through Yahoo?


I get over 100 spam emails a day that filter into my bulk mail folder. It’s easy enough to empty them but I’m wondering how can I block them altoghther and how in the world are these people finding my email if I’m not supplying it to anyone other than my friends and family?

did anyone else receive a weird, personalized email to “stay home tomorrow” on wed jan 2?


i am a little freaked out– i got a message in my mail wed night dated that day with the subject “stay home tomorrow” from ali baba. Normally i dont open mail i from senders i dont know, but i was mooving through my inbox and opened it inadvertantly, and the entire message consisted of my first and last name, nothing else. So i am not an expert in computer science, but i cannot figure out how a bulk email would contain nothing but my name. does this sound like i opened a virus? my computer seems to be working fine so far– or is this something more freaky? i would be really grateful if anyone else received a weird message like this so at least i know it is a computer thing and not someone actually emailing me. Thanks!
