    I repeatedly get spam with "You're about to permanently delete all your contact(s)." in the subject line. This is an attempt at identity theft. I have now blocked over 50 of these in the filters to go right to trash, yet I still get these daily redundant emails.
    APPARENTLY YAHOO is engaging in collusion with identity thieves by allowing these emails to go through. I know better but many others perhaps do not. I believe its time to take some action about this.

    I am getting too much spam mail in my inbox. Today I copied all the addresses they are coming from. It looks like the same scammer uses various email ids. It keeps changing. Does anyone have an idea to block these emails?

    Yahoo spam filter is HORRIBLE. I believe Yahoo is trying to fraudulently get people to upgrade by not using a filter on those who haven't. After 30+ years of having a Yahoo email address I'm ready to change. I mark emails as spam and not even 1 minute later am getting the SAME EMAIL!!!!! This is just terrible on Yahoo's part.

    The spam that gets through yahoo is horrible. But I need to be able to block all emails coming from all domains that end in zoqloq.com. They keep adding to their domain name such as offer00-zoqloq.com, offer01-zoqloq.com, etc.

    The spam filters don't work. I have entered numerous filters that are supposed to block a certain phrase that I continually get. I created filter to block it but they never work. Honestly, maybe Elon Musk needs to buy this **** company and actually clean out the poor staff who will not address these simple issues. Jesus Christ.

    "Inbox" is no longer a choice to route from Spam. Should be an obvious choice. Duh?

    I have googlegroups.com blocked due to spam, yet I keep getting mail from googlegroups.com. It shouldn't matter whether or not I'm being BCC'd, a domain block is a domain block.

    Useless spam blocking is forcing me to pay to solve the issues. Do not recommend anyone using Yahoo anymore as useless!

  • Milen Stratiev commented  ·   ·  Report

    Keep receiving spam emails from the exactly same sender, blocking and no result. I think canceling all Yahoo services will help, but I am not paying a cent. Very disappointing.

  • James Verhaeren commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your mail system automatically puts those emails into spam, but will not allow them to be block

  • Lucian commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hello.

    Please give us the option to block spam e-mails by the domain of the e-mail address too, not just THE specific address.

    As you know, there are hundreds of domains that auto-generate one time use e-mail addresses. So blocking 1 of them, doesn't stop all of them.

    For example, e-mails like this: ggiyxdu@fsed.domain.com
    Or like this: gynbs@domain.com

    We need to be able to block by "domain.com" as well, and this will stop ALL the auto-generated e-mails from a domain. And of course, do this for every domain.

    I am sick of spam e-mails... Yes, 95% of them are being filtered corectly. But I get some actual e-mails in the spam folder too. And because I get so much spam, sometimes I delete the good e-mails too......... :(
    I hate seeing e-mails in the spam folder, so I block the sender immediately.

    Can you please add this function as well? We would appreciate it very much!

    Thank you.

    PS: Please allow non Plus accounts to contact the customer support by chat and e-mail too, not just by phone. It doesn't cost anything more for them... Please?

    Add function to ONLY receive emails from trusted or saved contacts. This will help eliminate the over excessive SPAM that Yahoo supports

  • Zach Bennett commented  ·   ·  Report

    Over time the amount of spam received per day just keeps increasing to the point it is ridiculous, but what is even more ridiculous is the amount that gets through the spam filter. I receive the exact same type of spam email every day with the exact same subject lines and the exact same emails made of random letters, and every day a significant amount of these make it through the filter. If you can't fix the logic, give users the ability to set local parameters for what gets flagged for spam so they can correct the problems your filter apparently can't.

    I am getting a LOT of garbage emails in my spam folder. Like f**k me tonight, I want your sex, ***** enlargement, making money scams, etc. and I cannot block them. When I highlight the offending email and click on the ... icon, the Block Email item is missing. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!
    Or even better, block this trash before I even see it, please.
    I NEVER see any of this trash on my gmail email account.

    To the tech that responded to my previous posting with the above title - You are not understanding the issue. I can not even send emails with any links. I even tried to send it to myself and it wouldn't let me. There is a pop-up that says "Your message can not be sent because it resembles spam and/or contains only links. Please modify your message and try again." What is that all about??? I do not spam people and so why I am on some kind of radar is absurd. I am trying to send a link to someone pertaining to information they are looking for. There is a message included in the email with the link and still I can't send it?? If it was spam (which it is not), the receiver could handle that on their end as it would go into their spam folder. I don't need Yahoo deciding what my emails are or aren't, especially when I am sending emails to people on my address list. How do I fix this?

    Sorry, "unsubscribe@"messages are seen as SPAM by your service...

  • Johnny Robinson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your 'UNSCRIBE@" e-mail is continually being seen as SPAM by your server.

    I am sick and tired of companies logging me into subscriptions that I don't want.

    Then again, this forces people to buy more BLOCK srvices.

    QUIT these damned businesses from automatically adding my e-mail to their suibscritions, or FIX your "unsubscribe@' messages so that they are not seen as SPAM by the server!
