Mailing List Opt In
Does the Opt Out option in SPAM mail really work?
I get several spam emails daily, I would imagine it is about the standard amount that most people get… Most of the SPAM emails have an option where you can enter your email address and they will remove you from their contact list.
My question: does it really work, will they completely remove my email address, or am I just giving my email address to more of their “other companies” .
Sometime valid email gets sent into my SPAM and it will be addressed to me “not just person” and I will open it, that is how I get to the Opt out option.
Sometimes I am not sure it is Spam until I open it.
Do not EVER open mail from someone you do not know – ever. Never, ever open spam mail, that includes looking for a unsubscribe button – they never work in spam! Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more. If you are getting repeat mails, then ask yourself this: did you subscribe to it? If yes, then open one of them and look toward the bottom of the page, there should be a button or a link where you can ‘unsubscribe.’ Click on it and fill out the form or follow instructions. You should now be unsubscribed.
If you did not subscribe to it, or they do not unsubscribe you, then treat it as the spam that it is. Check mark the mail items and click on the ‘spam’ button, then delete, or allow Yahoo to delete.
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.
If they continue to sent these to you, you can block that 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.
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.
