    I am getting bombarded by SPAM. I switched to Yahoo!plus and it got worse! So I went back to BASIC. Terrible now!!!

    I want to get a notification when spam is in my spam folder, without always opening it. It would be neat, if the folder would tell me how many spam-mails are in its folder.

    Flagging emails as junk when the users constantly change the sending email doesn't do anything. Filting sending emails that alternate between upper can lowercase would seem like and easy filter to create.

    Why is there a limit on the intelligence of support? 1,000 blocked addresses? There's a limit? Reason enough to delete and contact the abuse address listed on the Domain Registrar page.

    Block all incoming emails with false addresses that scammer's make up.

    ...I should have clarified that the Spam is still in my Inbox.

    Your Spam catcher is very weak. I had more spam in the last 12 hours than I had in the last 12 days.,,not exaggerating.

    I checked my Spam folder yesterday, 4/11/2023, and the folder was empty. My intention was to report any incoming spam to Spamcop, but there was nothing to do.

    Today is 4/12/2023. I checked my Spam folder, and there are three spams in there -- One from 4/9 and Two from 4/8. Every time-stamp that is provided in the spams' headers confirm the dates they were sent.

    The way Spamcop works, it's most beneficial to report spams, and therefore have reports sent the offending ISPs, as soon as possible after the spams are transmitted.

    In the case of the three spams that just [finally] appeared today, there is not much value in reporting them to Spamcop, since one is 3 days old and the other two are 4 days old. In fact, they wouldn’t accept reports on such old spams even if I were willing to go through the exercise. Like I say, it's hopeful that reporting a newly transmitted spam to Spamcop might accomplish something, but the effort is thwarted when delivery of the spams are delayed for days.

    This email address is my honeypot, and Yahoo provides a lot of material for me to snitch on. But occasionally, I see this kind of delay on the spams. As a honeypot, it doesn’t receive much valid email, so I never noticed any delay on the valid ones, only occasionally on spams.

    If the delay is intentional, if perhaps Yahoo occasionally needs to take extra care before labeling an email as "spam," then I have no complaint, and appreciate Yahoo's effort. It's just a shame that one vector towards eliminating spam should ever be lost.

    If the delay is intentional, I would wonder what it is that causes some spams to arrive instantly and others to arrive days after being sent.

    However, if the delay indicates an unintended problem, if there is nothing in Yahoo's system that would allow such delays in delivering -- spam or otherwise, then I thought I'd let you know that it's happening, anyway.

    stop your mail service if this is the best you can do about blocking scams.

    Why would an e transfer payment mail be classified as spam mail? That is rude, and off putting to say the least. Get it together Yahoo.

    Your spam filter sends my new customers email to spam and it is costing me lost sales. Let me chose my spam filter settings or I will take my accounts to your competitors who allow me to set my own spam filters.

    Good evening. I can't receive a letter from Supercell ID to my email address, you are blocking it

  • Bruce McEwen commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am getting hundreds of junk emails, from various different email address, all with the same user name, but different domains. I can easily block junk emails that use the same domain but different userids, using wildcards, but I cannot do this the other way around. For example renter29682-info@quixxicalpreserve.cfd, renter29682-info@statecrash.sbs, etc., etc.
    How can I block these emails - I have been blocking them one at a time, but of course I have now hit the 1000 limit. I would need the ability to block renter29682-info@*, but this is not allowed.
