 How do I reduce the amount of spam I receive? - Duncan
Thank you for those responses.

The spam filter that Yahoo Mail provides is pretty good, it catches just about all the spam that is sent. I have the the spam filter set to hold the spam for seven days, this gives me the the time to check that there isn't any genuine mail in there and retrieve it.

The spam that I get - 15 when I logged on last night and another 9 this morning - is a minor irritation, but no more. It would be more work to set up new mail addresses, tell everybody my new address, remember to give companies a new disposable address, keep tabs on who had what etc etc!

I think for the time being I will stay with my "one address fits all" approach and consider changing when things get a bit more serious.
