Scam emails
Ever since the most recent update, I have had a ton of junk mail coming in to my [edited] @cox.net email address. Why and what can I do to block these from coming in? My wife is not getting many. I do not see that Mozilla has a way to block senders as they come in, like Yahoo does (Our cox accounts go through Yahoo and I have been blocking groups of junk mail as it comes in, but still getting a lot, because Yahoo only blocks on Yahoo mail accounts). I appreciate any help you can offer. Jim Chase

Hi Jim,
- Get off mailing lists.
- Adjust settings in the Yahoo spam filter if you can. You may be able to make them more aggressive. I don't know if that's possible with Yahhoo.
- Create block lists at the server if you can.
- Use Thunderbird's adaptive junk mail filtering on all your accounts. Train it. It is in account settings.
At the next level of time, effort, and money:
- Get your own domain.
- Use e-mail aliases.
Good luck.
