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

    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

    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

    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!

    What is the point in having the facility to (supposedly) block spam e-mail addresses when and where those people simply change a word or letter and then can still send a spam mail.
    I find I am repeatedly blocking the same people and when I look at the senders address it is a familiar one except there has been a change of a word or letter etc, why is it Yahoo mail cannot apply a definitive block on any incoming mail that has any or a majority of words in the senders address that have been blocked before.
    Frankly as it stands Yahoo e-mail blocking system is a waste of time and at the rate I am going my blocked address folder is going to be full sooner rather than later with addresses which are essentially from the same people.

    Why would I pay you $5/month to reduce spam emails, when I don't get spam gmail and comcast.? I get 20+ unwanted spam mails/day in yahoo.
    I've slowly been changing my email address to others. Why do you think you have the right to charge? No other provider does.

  • David Kesner commented  ·   ·  Report

    Any email with any name that a@ WHAT EVER DOMAIN.. should be blocked! I have gotten 10000s of spam

  • Rick 400tec commented  ·   ·  Report

    HOW DO I GET YOU TO STOP REPEATEDLY PUTTING ALL MY EMAIL IN SPAM AFTER TOLD YOU TO STOP "NOT SPAM" COUNTLESS TIMES? YOU FN DENSE COMMIE AZHOLZ!

  • Aaron King commented  ·   ·  Report

    I just "updated" my email which did nothing. No questions were asked besides my email address and pass word. I am considering changing to another.....maybe GMAIL.

  • Viet Nam commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allow blocking of senders by using part of their email address. For example, rather than blocking renter-info@i9fxa-funkybeatsillusions.co.uk. Allow blocking of *@*funkybeatsillusionas.co.uk.
    Please sending blocked email to Spam is NOT blocking the email.
