How to Block Emails on Yahoo Using DoNotPay
The trouble with Yahoo’s blocking option is that it’s tedious. Imagine having to go through the same process a dozen times and having to unsubscribe from each spammer manually.
Keep in mind that some spammers are rather persistent. They might add you to multiple mailing lists, and you’ll have to unsubscribe from every single one if you want to stop receiving unwanted emails from these senders.
DoNotPay automates the entire process, unsubscribes you from senders whose emails you don’t want to receive, and helps you keep your inbox clean. Here's what you should do to start using the DoNotPay email spam service:
- Log into your DoNotPay account from any
- Select the Spam Collector option
- Enter your email address to connect to DoNotPay
- When you receive a spam email, forward it to spam@donotpay.com
What you can expect from this process:
- You will be unsubscribed from unwanted mailing lists automatically
- If there's Class Action against the sender, you'll receive a notification and can choose to join the lawsuit to get compensation
You Can Bounce the Emails Back to Senders
The method of bouncing emails back to senders is another popular way of getting rid of unwanted mail. To use a bouncing function in your email program, you need to pick an independent email management tool with a bouncing feature and download it. Some of the most popular programs are Bounce Bully and MailWasher.
