How can I block yahoo email addresses?

by KevinBurns

Hello Fellow Warriors,

I have Outlook Express 6 and I am getting blasted daily with spam emails.
98% of them are from bogus yahoo email accounts.

I tried to create a new message rule to block all emails with the
words @yahoo in the from field, but no dice.

Can any one help me figure out how to set up my outlook so it blocks
all YAHOO emails?

I would appreciate it a great deal...

Thanks in advance

    Honestly... Ditch Outlook Express, it sucks big time and is a great place to get unwanted nasties on your PC.
    Head over to Thunderbird - Reclaim your inbox and install Thunderbird. Message filters will work a treat, and all that unwanted mail from yahoo can be dumped straight into the bin.

    Just my 2 cents worth.

    I also agree with Matt... anything, anything, anything but Outlook Express! Thunderbird is a great option and will certainly do what you are asking.

    write a php check in your email form. below will check if the email contains @yahoo anywhere, if it does it will tell them there email sucks and exit , if not will send the email

    something like :

    change $email to whatever your using as your email variable.


    $yahoo = (strpos($email, '@yahoo') !== false);
    if ($yahoo === 'true') {
    echo "Sorry your email sucks, Go back and use an email that doesn't suck so bad ";
    exit();
    } else {
    Rest of your query goes here.
    }
