How do I stop SPAM on my yahoo e-mail with addresses using a different person's name each time?

These are from sexually explicate sites. The different names ,like Jane Smith with several random numbers added in, seem to throw off the spam-blocker.

How do I stop SPAM on my yahoo e-mail with addresses using a different person's name each time?
If the domain is the same----block just the domain, and ALL emails from that particular domain---regardless of user name---will be caught in the block.


A domain is everything following the @ sign.


A user name is everything before the @ sign.





For instance: someone@anywhere.com


Someone---is the user name.


anywhere.com---is the domain .





Mail page%26gt;%26gt;options (top right)%26gt;%26gt;block addresses. Enter the domain and click "add block".





With New Mail---go to mail page%26gt;%26gt;options %26gt;%26gt;mail options %26gt;%26gt;spam%26gt;%26gt;block addresses-----and block it.
