I set up my Yahoo email account so that it would accept only those
emails from addesses already in my address book.

This worked great for a while, but lately I've started getting spam in
my inbox.

And when I went to "Options" to verify that my account was still set to
accept only those emails from addresses in my addres book, I was unable
to find that setting.

Can someone help me find this setting?

Are you confusing the Microsoft forums with those for Yahoo ?

I think it would be better to ask this at Yahoo...
