Do not be an easy target for spam.

The spam can cause real headaches. But the spam protection with Yahoo! (and a little common sense), you can keep your inbox relatively free of annoying spam. Here are some tips to remember:

Protect your email address: Try your email address as your phone number, you give something a selective basis. Do not expose in public places such as forums or chat rooms. When you provide an email address, use Address Guard Yahoo! to create extra email addresses.

Do not open or respond to unsolicited messages: When you open a message that you consider spam, you might inadvertently tell the sender that your email address remains active.
