Tips
 
How do I report unsolicited mail?
If you would like to report unsolicited mail ("spam"), please follow the following directions:

If you've been sent mail by someone (or some company) that you don't know, do not reply to the sender or follow any removal instructions that might be included in their mail.

Instead, use the "This Is Spam" link to report the mail to Yahoo!. Yahoo! closely monitors the messages that you report to find the latest tricks and techniques that individuals and companies (called spammers) are using to try to evade our filters. With this information, Yahoo! can update our filters to prevent that message from arriving in your inbox again.

In some circumstances, Yahoo! may share your complaint with the Internet service provider whose user sent the message, in order to help the service provider make sure their user stops sending that kind of mail. Don't worry, we won't share it with spammers.

If the spam or abusive email is being sent from a Yahoo! Mail account (i.e.,user@yahoo.com), the "This Is Spam" report will receive special attention. We will evaluate the message and take appropriate action per our Terms of Service.
