Spam or attack
 

Somehow my normal email is being slammed with thousands of emails asking me to set up my account or verify my email to join. I contacted yahoo live support on how to fix this. They were useless. Any Ideas. I know yahoo is old. Yet have had this since 2003 as my main for personal and family. I have tried blocking them. When I do a 100 more take their place. Setting spam filters would take all day as each one is from a different website. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

we´ve had this happen before, just put up with it for a few days and usually it just stops...

just delete them all and don´t open them, annoying, yes, but it will stop.

Thanks.. I have been blocking them as they come.:thumbsup

Sounds like an email bomb - happened to me about a year ago.

I set up my email to send everything to spam folder except known contacts whom I whitelisted. Then, I reached out to the major newsletter services (such as mailchimp) and explained I was getting email bombed and had them block my email across their services. This resolved 99% of it.

Definitely an attack though, as the purpose is to inconvenience you and disrupt your work by burying legitimate emails in an avalanche of spam.

I will contacted them tomorrow ..Thanks
