My dumb ass absentmindedly let my personal email get out, probably suckered into a too-good-to-be-true website deal. Regardless of how it happened, I'm get hit with bs.
It was originally an extended warranty offer. The website it was coming from was inaccessible. So, I went to the warranty site and had them remove my email.
Now I'm getting hit 10x harder. I'm blocking the sender, using Yahoo's block option. The crap is coming from 3-4 sites, just different senders each time, so the Block Sender is limited.
I need to figure out how to block anything coming out of those sites, not just the individual sender. Is that possible ? Or is there another/better way?
Is abandoning that email an option? I have a Yahoo email for just that purpose.
Rather than trying to block all the different addresses, you should be able to block all emails that include certain words in their title (like 'warranty' or 'offer'.) That may be a more universal way to block them.
It's like a geometric sequence. One sells your email to (at least) two, they each sell to two, and so on and so on.

I've had it for 25 years. I'd rather not if possible.

This is the answer. I create rules using phrases in the email that normal English speakers wouldn't use. It cuts my spam down significantly.

I never get those. That phrase would be the easiest way to hack my E36 M3.
One of the radio shows about computers says to forward all your mail to a new Gmail account , since they are so big they can sift thru emails and compare them with known spammers....
If anyone has done this can you reply thru google and still have your original email address in the "From" on the reply ?
