Until recently, my e.mail with Yahoo(Beta) was wonderfully spam-free, and I pitied everyone else from the luxury of my clean inbox. HOWEVER.. I now have hundreds of pleas (in broken English) from all over the world, begging me to help them get money out of their country, etc etc - (I stupidly opened the first one) - and I have been told (in the headers) that I've won more lotteries than I can count.
If this is what normal spam is, then this is nothing different, so feel free to delete me,(!) but I thought that spam tried to sell you something more specific, and that maybe this was a newish phenomenon.
I don't get how they ALL manage to fool Yahoo's spam filter SO efficiently, and was wondering if some ghastly new unstoppable spam mutation had spawned, or something..? I don't WANT to lose that e.mail address, dammit..

Leo,
I am not interested in any email that "domains" from China, or Russia. Is there a way of blocking all mail which has any connection to these countries. What I'm asking I guess, is there a way of simply having this mail not even leave my ISP or at least auto delete forever without my even knowing it existed.
I'm not concerned about 'good' mail not reaching me because I'm not interested in *any* mail that has in its headers any reference to China or Russia.
MailWasher blacklists most of these but I still have have to go through them and manually delete them. I would rather they didn't even show up in MailWasher at all.

I tried to use different spam filters for Outlook (not Express): Inboxer, Spam Bully, Outlook Spam Filter and others. Finally I came to Spam Reader and it's most suitable for me - very simple but very effective. http://www.spam-reader.com

I get rid of SPAM by hitting MESSAGE and BLOCK SENDER. It would send it to TOOLS, BLOCK SENDER LIST. But Recently the list of blocked addresses has disappeared and if I do it, the address only goes on the list for a minute and then disappears!! What is happening??????

For Outlook users:
I have been having a lot of success with a Spam filter called spambayes. You can find it at spambayes.org. I've yet to have a "good" email get deleted. If the filter isn't sure, it will deposit it into a folder called Junk Suspects and then you can tell the filter whether it is good or bad. The filter learns from past emails which is good and which is bad. If you have a bunch of emails saved up (both good and spam) you can give it a headstart when it first initializes.

If it's a result of the current virus infection, you may not be able to do much. I just wrote an article on it: http://ask-leo.com/archives/000065.html - see if that doesn't at least explain what might be going on.
