    Please start blocking know spammers and phrases that continually come in hundreds of times a month.
    For example: this heading is a known spam:

    "You're about to permanently delete all your contact(s)."

    Please just block it, no matter where it comes from. It is known and obvious spam. Same with many other phrases that continually clog my email box.

    Do better.

    Why are you blasting individuals with irrelevant and obvious phishing emails. I get hundreds HOURLY. it chokes my bandwidth. This is extortion . Paying a fee is moot because you ignore that regardless. ********.

    Stop allowing spam advertising on Yahoo email - I've had constant spam even after I opt-out & blocked spam - update SPAM Blocker

  • Massimo Babini commented  ·   ·  Report

    despite "block senders" and we are over 80, I continuously receive spam in my mailbox, I have other mailboxes with other providers, but I don't receive so many spams per day, I think yahoo spam blocker, is not reliable, like others. you need to review your block servers for leaks from all sides

    YOU (Yahoo) are paying for all this storage of SOOO much junk, so you'd think you'd want to reduce it. My inbox has over 120,000 emails after years of not being able to keep up with all the junk. This is absurd to humanity! Let us be able to actually deal with our inboxes!!

    ONE THING YOU CAN DO YAHOOMAIL IS TO STOP SELLING OUR EMAIL INFORMATION TO YOUR SPONSORS TO GENERATE REVENUE FOR YOUR GREEDY POCKETS. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IN GOD'S NAME I AUTHORIZED YOU TO SELL MY EMAIL ADDRESS! NOW ROUGHLY 70% OF EMAIL IN MY INBOX TO THIS ACCOUNT IS SPAM! AMOUNT OF SPAM TO THIS ACCOUNT IS UNREASONABLE!!!

    Everyday, I receive a lot of Spam mails from different unknown sources. It is hereby requested to Yahoomail authority to increase your security level.

  • Edward Cornell commented  ·   ·  Report

    How can we turn off the Active/Intelligent Spam filters. I only want the Passive Spam filters. Meaning I (End-User), tell yahoo when to mark email messages as spam.

    I don't need a robot to automatically put important email into the spam folder just because it thinks it is spam. Looks like this is an ongoing issue that has not been resolved yet?

  • Kurt Nielsen commented  ·   ·  Report

    With Filters, add a Block setting that will BLOCK all emails that meet the criteria for the filters.

  • Franklin Collins commented  ·   ·  Report

    Recently I have started getting a significantly greater amount of spam email coming through your filters, and making it to my inbox, only a daily basis. This is baffling because obviously Yahoo has changed something and now using my Yahoo Mail address has become irritating and frustrating. So much so that I am considering migrating completely to Gmail unless thigs improve. Just saying that Google has way better spam filters in place than Yahoo, and it makes me wonder if Yahoo has some financial incentive for letting it happen.

    I seem to get a lot of SPAM. The majority of the SPAM I get could be blocked from even appearing in my SPAM folder with a simple wildcard filter. Of course,

    Blocking obvious SPAM emails completely, before it is moved into the SPAM folder, would make it a lot less work to actually review what little SPAM would be left.

    These are the sender addresses from the SPAM that I've received in the last hour.

    42563778@mail04.bakloop.com
    42563778@mail11.gilbertq.com
    42563778@mail09.kanpou365.com
    42563778@mail07.euphorine.com
    42563778@mail08.euphorine.com
    42563778@mail10.cnjrws.com
    42563778@mail10.jmarklife.com
    42563778@mail03.hk-mro.com
    42563778@mail05.euphorine.com

    I don't understand why I should be forced to wade through any more emails from 42563778 @ any domain.

    It would be great if I could prevent 42563778@* from even showing up.

    Perhaps there is something that could be done to block this kind of SPAM bombing from showing up in anyone's SPAM folder? Given the volume of data you must have available for analysis, this should be very do-able. Gmail is really good at making it look like this never happens.

    But at the very least, give us the tools to make this happen.

    Besides having an All Checkbox for mass selection of emails, it would also be nice to be able to select emails by Month and Year. Having this option would make it much easier to keep Inbox, Send, Trash and other folders free of old and unneeded emails. This could help lower storage requirements on your end.

    Utter lack of effective spam controls is so far behind current day spamology, that one would wonder whether Yahoo! actively endorses spam.

    Limit of 1,000 blocked addresses is hilariously feeble when apammers can autogenerate hundreds on the fly.

    Inability to block by partial address is like something from the 1980s.

    Woeful filtering system.

  • David Nasralla commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's like the spam filters aren't even on. CAMP Lejuene!! Settlement approved!!! The subject lines are encoded and slip right past their filters EVERY SINGLE DAY! The raw text of the subject lines are OVER 400 characters! Just let me block anything over 80! Here is a sample of the raw subject line which is injected with tons of spaces and encoding " ◉◉ 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞(8): Your Compensation Has Been Approved
    (02/21/2023)| Time is Running Claim Now. ◉◉◉"

    Follow through on your mission statement of delivering a quality product. What happened to Yahoo? There is no different from the "free" service to paying a fee. you blast us regardless.

  • Ralph Rutledge commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ymail could use a spam unsubscribe or a spam block button, to be able to get rid of all the spam..
