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

    Yahoo is being paid by the spammers, plus, they are too stupid to figure out how to stop it. You are pathetic Yahoo!!!! How do you ignore, all of these complaints?????

    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.

    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.

    You miserable pieces of ****, you suck. Eat a bag full of d icks!!!!

    With the increasing amount of spam with throw away addresses (I'm getting 25 plus a day), my 1000 blocked addresses table, used to block spam emails, as seen in settings/more settings/secutiry&privacy, gets full very quickly, and I have to highlight each address entry to delete it to make space for new blocked addresses...

    Please can I have a several address selection mode, so that I can delete all, some or individual addresses as I need to do...
    Or an auto delete function after so many days...
    Or a bigger table to contain increasing numbers of blocked/throw-away spam addresses…

  • Dawn P Dominic commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm getting over 25 spam emails a day, mostly go directly into the spam folder, which I block/delete periodically. However, some are now strangely appearing in my mailbox. This is increasing, and most prevalent on my mobile devices. And with this mount of spam, I'm having to delete my blocked list more often, leaving me open to more spam... something is broken and needs fixing?!?
