How do I block email from another yahoo user?

Rcv harrassing emails from yahoo email addy, block/reply will give us a msg this is not a yahoo address.. how?

  • the harrassing emails show a yahoo email address but replies and attempts to block come back with "This user doesn't have a yahoo.com account"..how do we stop this person from harassing us? compliants to yahoo for abuse has also not worked.

  • Answer:

    Report stalking/harrassing to: [email protected] (the missing e is intentional), be sure to include the original harrassing e-mails with full header, that should proove the user's ID. If that person does not have a Yahoo account, the mail provider should be displayed somewhere in the mail, find out which it is and complain there. If the harrassing is truly bad, print out all the mails with full header showing, take them to the police and file a report, as stalking/harrassing is clearly against the law. If the harrassing is just plain annoying and you just want to stop it, check Mailwasher, it not only helps to eliminate spam from your inbox, but enables you also to let those harrassing mails bounce! <<Set up your email account(s) in MailWasher and hit the "Check Mail" button. It then downloads all new message headers and displays message details alongside each one (priority, subject, from, to, etc.). Any email that MailWasher considers to be spam is highlighted for easy sorting. Two checkboxes are located next to each message header: "Delete" and "Bounce". If you click "Delete" the email will be marked for deletion, click "Bounce" and the mail will be marked for bouncing - a fake "address not found" email will be sent to the sender. Once you have decided what to bounce and delete, click "Process Mail" to get it done and your mail client launched for downloading all accepted emails. MailWasher has a "blacklist" and a "friends list" to enter good and bad email addresses. Addresses in the blacklist are marked for deletion, and addresses in the friends list will be marked as okay. Filters can be set to increase MailWasher's effectiveness. You can have email addressed to "undisclosed recipients" automatically deleted and bounced for example. The program is free but limited to one email account, and doesn't include Hotmail support. MW Pro supports multiple mail accounts.>> http://www.computeractive.co.uk/vnunet/downloads/2128814/mailwasher
