Thats funny. I walked away from Yappooo mail a long time ago, because it appeared to me they loved spammers, there was no way I ever saw to block anything. G-mail has become the same way. I was using Hotmail, but they, like G-mail are possesed to have my phone number????? I already get too many crap phone calls, I cannot understand why an online presence is so interested in my phone number
Gary I still have the g-mail, but only look to see if anyone I actually want to get mail from is still sending to that address. I wouldn't send anything out on it. Basically dying, soon to be dead, or at least walked away from.

It shows in the domain as a "google group" or "woodnet google group".
Try going here; https://support.google.com/groups/answer/46608?hl=en then click "google groups" and set "stop emails" at the woodnet email section.
Maybe that will work. If not, there is a way- I'll find out somehow.
Nothing in my groups, but I switched to ufavors.com in there, and found 3 groups from him.
I changed settings there.

I quit Yahooy many many years ago- I saw it coming.
I have 4 or 5 email accounts, 2 of them I give to folks I know are going to spam or mail me with junk.
I haven't checked my Gmail account in two years- I bet it is automatically dumping by now. LOL.

What e-mail are you using? I just opened a GMX account, so far it has all the tools I enjoyed at Hotmail, without the constant pestering me for my phone number. Sign up was your name, the user name, and password, no secret questions, no other e-mail accounts, it was absolutely pleasant.

Mostly google owned accounts ask for it. I never give that out. In fact, I don't use google search or any of their stuff really- maybe youtube which has become a google thing.

+1 on GMX. I don't know about their web interface, prefer Thunderbird & IMAP. I get 'special offers' or recommendations from GMX but not so many that it's a chore to delete them.

Unsubscribing in the ufavors must have worked for me. I haven't heard from buddy Bryan in 17 days now.

I've been trying to block those/get off that darn list for a year now. Infuriating. (I guess it's the price one pays for having had the same email address for 15 years...)
