What should I do if I get spam at a disposable email address?

If some spam messages are sneaking through Yahoo! SpamGuard and still making it to your Inbox, you can:
  • Report messages as spam by clicking Spam. This trains your Yahoo! SpamGuard filter to recognise this type of message and to send it to the Spam folder.
  • If you don't expect any more legitimate or useful email to be sent to the disposable address that's getting spam, just delete the address. Here's how:
    1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page and select Mail Options.
    2. From the list on the left, click Spam.
    3. Toward the bottom of the page, click Set up a disposable address.
    4. Click the address you want to delete.
    5. Click Delete, or press Delete on your keyboard.
    6. Confirm the deletion by clicking Delete Disposable Address.
