1. Usually just clicking on SPAM when you receive the message will direct it to your SPAM FOLDER and any subsequent emails from this person will go there…if that doesn’t work try below….

   If you are using yahoo classic OR all new mail…..
   Go to "Options" It is above your email
   Click on "Mail Options"(More options…if in All New Mail)
   Click on SPAM
   Enter the address you want to block
   Click on “Add Block”

   On occasion the sender changes their name BEFORE @ so block that DOMAIN the following way…

   If you are receiving several emails from the same domain, but various ID’s, the easiest way to stop them is to enter the domain into your "Blocked Addresses".

   In Yahoo! mail, to block the senders domain (hotmail.com):
   ◘ Click on "Options, upper right corner of mail page".
   ◘ Then "Mail Options".
   ◘ Click on "Spam" from the list on the left.
   ◘ In the "Add a blocked address" box, enter the domain (only the part of the email address AFTER @, do not include @). Note: I have recently seen where you should have the @ included…try them both.
   ◘ Click the "Add" button.

   Now, any email from that domain, no matter what ID is used to send it, will be blocked.

   FINALLY…do not forget to click on SAVE CHANGES at the top of the page……

   NOTE: there is a limit of 500 addresses in the Block Address box. There may come a time where you have to go in to this box and delete some.
   +++++++++++++++++++++
   In addition you can use your FILTERS to send them to trash.
   …..click on OPTIONS…MAIL OPTIONS…go to the left side and click on FILTERS…once in click on CREATE OR EDIT FILTERS…then click on ADD…place the site in the box and click on ADD FILTERS..NOTE; this was the only way I could get rid of Yahoo!groups..

2. Trteat them as spam, ans do not open them, Sonia! Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more. You can not completely stop all spam, but you can help to put a big dent in it.
   Check mark them and click on ‘Spam,’ this should stop those addresses from being delivered to your inbox.
   Use your spam guard and block address.
   Look for the ‘Options’ link at upper right corner of mail screen and click on it
   Options /mail options
   Click on ’spam’ in the list on the left.
   Make sure spam guard is on, by checking in the little box.
   Then in ‘Blocked Email Addresses,’ enter the E-mail address you wish blocked, in the box after ‘Add a blocked address’ and click on the ‘add’ button, then click on save changes at top left of screen.
   You will never get mail from that address again.
   This should help you to control your spam.
   Other tips:
   Do not ever open E-mail from people you do not know; and unless you are absolutely sure who it is from then treat them as spam.
   Never, ever give out your account information or other personal information to anyone.
   If you are on a site and you absolutely have to sign up for something, check the entire page to make sure you uncheck any lines wanting to send you any other info, notices, catalogs, ads, and the like.
   Added detail:
   Yes, spammers change one item in their addresses a lot, so you might try blocking the entire domain, by putting in
   *@ thedomainyouwanttoblock.com
   for instance: *@seeyou.com
   Or, if they change the domain, instead of the company name you can block the name by putting in Imatheft_inc@*
   Hope this helps
