Blocking SPAM in Yahoo email?

I have a Yahoo email account that is starting to get spammed pretty heavily now. The spam comes from a handful of URL's that send me multiple crap on a daily basis. I went into the settings of my YAHOO email account but do not see anywhere that I can enter the domain names to stop their spam from entering my mailbox in the first place. Tagging something as spam seems to do nothing.

Is anyone familiar enough with Yahoo mail to know how to stop the spam? Changing my email address is not a viable option. Besides the spammers will end up finding my new email name and I really like the name of my current email address.

Thanks,
David

Edit....nevermind. Figured it out.

I had the same problem before with yahoo mail. The only thing I found was that yahoo only lets you block 500. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...ontext-05.html

To manually add them though, go to option > mail options > spam (All of those are from your yahoo mailbox page)

After a few years, I deleted all the ones I had listed and started to add the newer ones. I figure some of them probably stopped by now.
