97 spam emails on a Sunday!!!!!!!!

Better effort on the part of Yahoo is needed to detect spam before letting it get through to users.

    I have used Yahoo! email for years and I do not have plans to leave, but I also have a Gmail account. My gmail gets almost no spam, but my yahoo gets a ton of spam. Over 50% of my yahoo emails are spam. What can you do about this?

    This is more than any current ideas relating to the excessive numbers of spam that uses auto generated throw away addresses. So definitely not related to the '97 emails on a Sunday' entry!!!

    This is about providing spam management tools in my yahoo account settings function, and asking for automation to help me with that.

  • Dawn P Dominic commented  ·   ·  Report

    You incorrectly lumped my idea in with another unrelated idea, Why?
    Please address my idea individually.

    I need a better selection criteria to delete en masse, several and individual spam addresses in the blocked/deleted spam list in Yahoo settings; or make the list more than 1000 entries ; or provide an auto periodic (based on time or quantity) delete function to manage number of entries in the blocked/deketed spam table.

    This is s functional change requirement not an educational request for help.

    det kan ikke passe at yahoo.com hele tiden laver om på hvordan man automatisk kan

    det kan ikke passe at yahoo.com hele tiden laver om på hvordan man automatisk kan blockere spam mails og tilbage til manuelt blockering

    forced to move away from yahoo mail due to excessive constant flow of spam

    It would be nice to be able to see a "blocked email list". For example; if something comes into my mailbox and I mistake it for something else and block it, I can't unblock because I have no way to access to a list.

    If such a list does exist, please tell me how to see it. I did everything I could think of to find a "blocked email list".

    Spam is awful, this will get rid of most spam I receive.

  • bob g commented  ·   ·  Report

    Spam often contains non standard characters that appear to be an 'o' or other english character. This allows them to get around spam filters. Please trash every email that has a non standard character in the subject.

    how do I automatically block ALL forged emails that come from the same website? Yahoo!plus isn't worth much if it can't block a website. A website can forge millions of different email addresses, and pitiful yahoo!plus can only block 1000 of them? Pitiful indeed. I'm cancelling the 'plus' option because it isn't much use to me.

    Hi, I keep getting spam emails from renter-***@***.site where the *** are replaced with random words. I tried to use Yahoo's filtering to send immediately to trash, but it is ineffective and these keep showing up.

    Yahoo Mail needs better spam filtering capabilities, we do not see this occur with Gmail, and many of my friends and family have switched to Google.

    Hi Yahooligans. It is just amazing how much spam comes into my account every day - of which many come in in multiples!
    Something with your spam detection and filtering system is lightyears behind the competition

    I don't like your ads.
    I don't want your ads.
    Get rid of them.
    The ads are instrusive and annoying.
