Re: yahoo mail can block
Each spam I receive has a different fake sender address, so I'm pretty sure blocking a bunch of them would be useless.

Block an entire domain You
Block an entire domain
You can also block an entire domain by typing it in the same spot. Don’t want email from "spammer.com"? Type spammer.com into the box, and any email address from “@spammer.com” will be blocked. See ya!
or set Empty Spam folder delete immediately/weekly/monthly(mail>mail option>spam)...

Re: Block an entire domain
That's not going to help either. Nothing stops the spammer from faking the domain part of the sender address too.

Disposable e mails

Disposable email accounts
Set one up at mail.com, it's free
Use any name you like and use it purely as a disposable account

Yahoo Spam Filtering
That's an oxymoron right?
I mean.. the bulk spam I get on my Yahoo account is from Yahoo email addresses.
Could I block www.yahoo.com in my www.yahoo.com email?

may be u could try that for
may be u could try that for 1 or 2 months to see if the yahoo.com spammer give out or not(they probably won't give out)...
or block as many individual xxx@yahoo.com(up to 500) as u can to see who give out 1st...
or enable auto-response during your vacation to spam them back(mail>mail option>Vacation Response), but they may block u...
& don't forget to ask ur friend not to contract u by yahoo mail, may be using livemail instead...
note: u can unblock anytime u want...
if too many spammers refused to give out & continue to spam u like crazy since they already know ur real email address then its really too late to use this cool feature(u r struck to mark them as spam mail or u may consider to dump ur real email address completely & create a new account w address guard & never reveal ur real address again)...
:D i just realised few day ago that yahoo mail can block up to 500 email address/main domain!

summary:
Blocked addresses
Don’t want to get mail from a certain address or domain? OK. Block it – block up to 500! Incoming mail from blocked addresses and domains is automatically deleted and doesn’t bounce back to the sender. And if you change your mind, remove a blocked address or domain to re-open your Inbox.
Add a block, remove a block
Set up a block by clicking in the box next to "Add a blocked address:" and typing the address. When you’re done, click Add. That’s it. Remove a block by clicking on any address you’d like to remove from the list, then clicking Remove. (You won’t see Remove until you’ve added at least one blocked address.)
Block an entire domain
You can also block an entire domain by typing it in the same spot. Don’t want email from "spammer.com"? Type spammer.com into the box, and any email address from “@spammer.com” will be blocked. See ya!
:P it also have disposable address/addressguard(mail>mail option>spam>Disposable Addresses)...

summary:
What is Yahoo! AddressGuard?
Are you ever in the middle of buying something online, or signing up for something, when you get asked for your email address and you don't want to give it out, because you don't want spam? Us, too! So we created Yahoo! AddressGuard. Now you can protect yourself but not completely cut yourself off.
Yahoo! AddressGuard is part of Yahoo! Mail. It lets you create disposable email addresses to use whenever you don't want to give out your real Yahoo! Mail address, but when you do think you'll probably want to receive what this source sends you—a receipt, or an invoice, or some other valid communication.
Yahoo! AddressGuard directs messages sent to these addresses into your Inbox so you can see them. You can also decide to direct them into one of your other folders if you want.
You can create many alternate addresses and access them all from your Yahoo! Mail account. If any of your disposable addresses starts getting spam, just delete that address. Boom. Bye bye spam.
:) i post this just to share my knowledge coz b4 that i only mark all the BS message as spam & btw, i don't see this feature in gmail/livemail...
