Why does my email address show up in my spam folder?

It will show up with other similiar email addresses but with subjects like "Pharmacy order #1t531212" or "Sell your timeshare" or stuff like that. The other email addresses that show up are very similiar to mine and sometimes mine will show up in the mix. What's up with that?

Hello Steve E





Your email address exists in other users address books, you've entered it to access information on websites, and it could be on one of those "fun" emails your friends sent with 30 other email addresses.





I've given examples of how your email is available for "harvesting" by spammers. They may use it once and never again, to send thousands of emails for malicous or ad-related causes. Spammers may sell your email as part of a list for other spammer's use. http://antispam.yahoo.com/tips





Spamguard is working correctly. The system knows you would not send spam to yourself and moved it to the spam folder. You don't need to "unblock". You are protected.





Best wishes,
