    My email is being used to send out dodgy spams to my contacts. Can you'll do something about it !

  • Bibek Bam commented  ·   ·  Report

    i have started getting a number of spam email and unwanted emails for the past few days , i am troubled to think my data might have been leaked or something. can you check and get back. i am sure i have never subscribed to any thing using yahoo so i dont know how this is happening now after so many years of use

    Two days in a row, obvious spam is not being stopped by Yahoo Mail, as it has in the past. I can see it in Mailwasher Pro. But before I do anything with that mail in MWP, I go to my Yahoo Mail account thinking that I can reclassify it as spam, but Yahoo Mail says there's no email in my account. So your instructions about marking spam are worthless. And why should I pay to get further help when Yahoo is not doing its job in the first place.

    I am very disappointed with Yahoo lately - every e-mail sent to me from outside North America ends up in my Spam folder! You have to radically revise your rules for sending stuff to the Spam folder. I don't have this problem with any other provider.

    I don't use Yahoo Mail directly, but see email that comes through to one of my Yahoo email accounts -- not this one -- first in Mailwasher Pro. On first start up today, Mailwasher shows six pieces of obvious spam in my Yahoo account, the type of thing my Fastmail webmail site filters in the a spam folder without having to ask.

    yahoo must be able to perform better

    block spammers & increase the number of scam email addresses we can block, recently I thought I'd clear the 1000 blocked addresses I had blocked but they still keep coming so back to blocking them! I get so many spam emails yet despite blocking everyone I can there are so many I can't as they have no ability to add the block too. increase the number of spam addresses... terribly disappointed so many emails are not recognised by Yahoo as spam and just as bad when I block one address I eventually still get them..Increase blocked email addresses by another 1000

    Re: Block Senders

    When I click on BLOCK SENDERS and DELETE THEM FOREVER, they ended back up in my SPAM or DELETED folders. This cause a lot of frustration. BLOCK SENDERS and DELETE for EVER must not just appear to work but MUST actually work. Block means that the same spam messages must not come back. It appears that Yahoo is aiding spammers which should not be. Please fix the problem immediately.

    I am not sure how to turn off the flood of emails I am getting? 4K in 4 days?

    Hi There,
    I cannot see any X button on the TEMU ad to hide it and provide you guys with feedback so I'm writing this Email instead. I sincerely hope that you can take action right away! The TEMU ads have 'sexual' stuff like crude/rude undies with graphic genitalia suggestions. I cannot see any way of stopping them from showing up on my Yahoo. Make it stop right away, please! These are vulgar aggressive ads
    Kind Regards,
    Msmidha

    1) There is no block domain option just block addresses which quickly runs out once you've reached the 1000 limit. This needs to be updated please?

    2) With deleting already blocked addresses to include new ones it all has to be done manually, deleting each and every individual address 1000 times is so silly when it could be done easily by selecting all and deleting all. The trouble also with this is that where just allowing all previously blocked addresses from getting through again. Yahoo should block at your server any addresses that appear on my blocked list, or you block the domain.

    3) Failing to do any of thew above it would be worthwhile to include alongside each blocked address how many emails Yahoo has blocked from each one, that way we'd know who are the worst offenders so these addresses could be left. But still require the ability to bulk delete blocked addresses.

    Again...how many times do I have to report a sender as not spam before you stop putting it in the spam folder? Apparently a LOT. The very least you can do is notify me when there's something in the spam folder so I'm aware and can check it. Because I doubt most people check their spam folder regularly because, why should you have to?

  • VSB SONTI commented  ·   ·  Report

    Im trying to send a mail to a known contact but yahoo says that the message looks like spam and hence can't send it.

    When I know to whom I'm sending mail, yahoo can't decide if its genuine or spam.

    Also when the mail was not sent, yahoo notifies me to modify the message and send again. But same thing is happening again and again.

    I strongly believe that I must have the freedom to classify the message as spam or not and NOT YAHOO.

    Thanks

    When someone reports spam, cut the sender off. My Gmail does this, why doesn't Yahoo Mail do it?

  • Joe Blow commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stop ignoring designated spam or marked spam and continue to send to inbox. Further stop just sending things directly to trash for no reason so to check my in box I must check Spam and trash as well as I never know where anything will show up.

  • Neal Monsour commented  ·   ·  Report

    Despite continually marking as SPAM, you continue to allow these spam messages through. They are always in a different font, and have the same subject line. Then I block in every possible way, from sender, *@sender, subject line, etc. but you still allow this attempt at fraud.
    Apparently your ai is so stupid it cannot recognize this, or this is a deliberate action on your part, because of $$ maybe? In any event, I am escalating this to Verizon, and will post in other forums.

  • Terry Holland commented  ·   ·  Report

    People spam from spoofed or fake accounts. It does not good to send an "unsubscribe" request to a spoofed for fake accounts. In fact, sending an unsubscribe request only makes things worse as this confirms that spam is actually reaching a target. Please stop asking me to "unsubscribe" from a news letter that is coming from a spoofed account.
