    1. Fix your spam blocking before it gets to people's emails as bots are exploiting you're flawed in blocking email
    2. Gives us more than 3 domains to block
    3. Give us more than 1,000 accounts to block
    4. allows us to block by user account as the bots are starting with the same account name followed by a junk domain and subdomain

    But then again yahoo does not care about cyber security and phishing attack until the fed forces you.

    YAHOO stop blocking my newsletters. YAHOO has no right to censor my email. i signed up for newsletters and no longer receive them. Yahoo gets worse everyday

  • Peggy Jean Moore commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have been getting about 10 of these a day, each with unique sender addresses. Have to process them manually one at a time to get rid of them.

  • Alexis Munoz commented  ·   ·  Report

    update blocking email addresses to more 1000 on the security and privacy settings

  • Vaughn Hagerty commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can't block emails based on words in subject line. This used to be possible. Yahoo mail has gone way downhill.

    Why am I getting so much spam? Over 50 every day. Please change this. I don't want and should not be getting all this **** spam!

  • Simone Moore commented  ·   ·  Report

    I keep having SPAM come through to my Inbox no matter how many times I report them as SPAM. When I look at the email, they are putting in my email address twice and it works. I have this issue on none of my other email accounts.

    Every day I get at least one email with Southwest Airlines graphic, but another company's name in the From: field and a totally bogus email address. How does this get past the spam filters?

    I them block they still get thru, Yahoo Mail is a F****** joke! The India IP's are screwing up your platform.

    There is an email address that floods Yahoo inboxes. They change the last 5 digits before ".org" and keep sending SPAM. That address is: mail@email.*****.org (asterisks show the 5 digits they randomly rotate. Is there any way to stop them from sending? I had over 200 in my SPAM folder from them.

    Enhance the blocked address list as follows:
    1. When selecting view all, place check box in front of each address to make deleting easier.
    2. Add select all or delete all button.
    3. Add number of hits column to aid in list cleanup.
    4. Add setting to allow user to increase size in 1k increments.
    5. Add export button so user can export to xls or comma delimited file.
    6. Add wild card/masking option so we can keep ahead of spammers who just add 1 to their address or domain name.

    Items 1 thru 5 should be relatively simple task even for a programmer trainee. Item 6 is a bit more difficult but i am sure there is some canned code for that somewhere.

    After all this is the 21st century and sometimes it looks like Yahoo is stuck in the early 20th century!!
