Answer:
When you Report that email as Spam, that is how you notifie Yahoo. This will automatically delete the email and add the email address to your Blocked Address List.
To stop receiving unwanted email, do the following:
Log into your Email, go to Options (upper right hand side). Go through all your settings and don't forget to save them too.
When you get to Block Address, type in spammer.com, this will stop all Spam that has been reported to Yahoo from ever entering your email. (Added Note: I recommend you remove everything on your list first. This will give you a fresh start after you type in the "spammer.com".)
When you get to Bulk Mail, option to automatically delete all Bulk mail. (Added Note: This will force all new email to redirect to your Inbox.)
Make sure your Spam Guard is turned On.
If you get email from someone you don't know, NEVER open it (it may contain viruses) and report it as SPAM. This will automatically block it from your email account. (Added Note: When you open an email that is Spam, you have told the sender that your account is Active.)
This should slow down the Junk Mail considerably. (Added Note: I only get maybe one or two Spam emails a Month.)
Good Luck!
