    Yahoo! filtering is awful. You keep placing email in the Spam folder even after I have pushed the "Not Spam" button dozens of times. You also keep placing email in the Spam folder when I specifically identify domain names that are not Spam. It is getting so frustrating that I am strongly considering eliminating my Yahoo! email accounts and using gmail and other email services.

    It would to be very helpful to have an option to block recipient (outgoing) email address. So that even accidentally or mistakenly , NO emails (including sensitive information) can be sent from my email to those addresses in future.

    After blocking that address in settings :-

    1. That blocked recipient address should NEVER appear in Autocomplete or Autofill of TO in compose of my email.

    2. If mistakenly typed and then sent to that blocked email address by me. Then email should NOT be sent to that blocked email address, but I should receive an email back from Yahoo with error message, saying could NOT send an email recipient because it's blocked in your settings.

    I need to block more than 1000 spam emails. I have 1000 blocked and still get more than 20 per day.

    More spam is being let through in order force people to switch to Yahoo Mail Plus. I already have 800+ blocked domains.. my gmail accounts have 0 (zero) percent spam

  • Mike qualitysw commented  ·   ·  Report

    You are purposely allowing spam to get through in order force more people to switch to the
    pay for service - Yahoo Mail Plus

    Your Spam filter has completely failed. It's been bad for months but lately it's becoming untenable. It doesn't matter how many mailer lists I unsub from or how many emails I mark as Spam, your filters are inept. How many Yahoo! users are moving to Gmail? Even when I set up my own filters, it doesn't work.

  • tcnichols commented  ·   ·  Report

    why has the spam filter stopped working - the yahoo inbox is totally worthless now as I get hundreds of spam emails in my inbox every hour

  • Test Name commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please make blocking spam emails unlimited. Why is it limited to 1,000 nowadays with scam emails so proficient? And no I can't block all the domains when they are emails like spam@scam1.com; spam@scam2.com. These are all different sites.

    Lowe's (the company) DOES NOT EMAIL PEOPLE! STOP ALLOWING ANY LOWE'S EMAILS! THEY ARE ALL 100% SCAMS!!! GET A CLUE!

    The more I mark "spam" and "report it as spam" The MORE spam I get!
    If you ask me to take the time to mark and report spam. Why can't you prevent it from bombarding my email. Spend more time finding my own stuff through all the junk you're allowing through... Gunna have to use outlook if you can't upgrade your system.

  • Nick Walton commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have been with yahoo forever but the amount of spam i am receirving is mental these are emails that have not got my email address in the too...

    Simply saying mar it as spam is not the answer they shouldnt be in my inbox in the first place.

  • Louie C commented  ·   ·  Report

    even after blocking 600 email spam addresses, yahoo still let spam mails come in. dont you have a better way of efficiently blocking spams?

  • Paula Bonifas commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think it's flat out wrong that Yahoo is letting so much spam and junk mail through even after it's blocked and sent to spam, because they want you to switch to Yahoo Plus. They've obviously modified their filters to let more come through. They need to change this.

  • samer kara commented  ·   ·  Report

    too many scammers lately not going to spam instead keep getting to inbox. Ask Gmail how do they fix this problem. I don't get any spam in Gmail only on yahoo

  • Mark Wilson commented  ·   ·  Report

    i have set up filters for my spam where if i get spam with the emails starting with "renter-87131info@" to put into my deleted folder and i still get emails that start with "renter-87131info@" into my spam folder, filter do not work
