I am an IT tech responsible for my companies’ network. We have a large number of “black lists” we can add to query incoming spam on email but what is the best ones to use? If I add too many we may not get emails we should – if I don’t use the right ones we will get all the viagra and stock quote junk we don’t want. Is anyone familiar with this that could help me?

I was wondering if it is true that Yahoo sells the alternate email address’ that you list when signing up for a yahoo account. I have an email address through Roadrunner that I normally use. Within 24 hours of signing up with Yahoo, I was getting slammed with spam. I had this email address for over a year with no spam problems at all until I registered with Yahoo.

I then read online about how if you list an alternate email address with Yahoo, they add them to bulk mail lists and sell them.

I do not know if it is true but I think so. I just ended up deleting my Yahoo account and open a new one with no alternate email listed and deleted my Roadrunner address as well.

Whether it is true or not, I thought I would just give a heads up.
