Can I block specific email addresses or web sites from sending me messages?

While you can't prevent someone from sending a message to you, you can block up to 500 email addresses or web sites. All incoming messages from these blocked addresses will be automatically deleted, without bouncing back to the sender or going into one of your mail folders.

To block an address:
  1. Sign in to your Yahoo! Business Email account.
  2. Click the "Options" link.

  3. Select "Mail Options" from the Options pull-down menu.

  5. Add the address you would like to block to the "Add a blocked address" field and click the + (plus) button.

    Tip: To block email messages from an entire domain (for example, baddomain.com), enter the domain in this field.

To remove or unblock an address or domain from your list:

  1. Select the entry to remove, then click the button with the trash can icon.

  2. The address or domain disappears from your list of blocked addresses.
