    block anything that says Camp Lejeune

    The spammers have found a way around your spam filter. THIS Camp Lejeune especially. Also numerous delivery notifications from companies I've never ordered anything from

    My email address starts with jjc. but most of my spam comes to Jjc-
    If addresses were case-sensitive it would stop my spam.

    Please help, unsolicited SPAM continues to infiltrate my account. I changed my password, etc with no result. This is disgusting and should not be allowed by law!!!!!

    i started to recieve spams out of nowhere (i use the email for very few things for more than 10 years). all spams has one thing in common. a name (not mine). so i created a filter with all mails containing that name in the body should go to trash. Ymail ignores it completely. i created another one for subject containing that word. still ymails ignores it completely. after many similar tries i tried y! support. i guess there is no support for regular yahoo users. only for y+ users. stupid. only thing that i can do is vent here

    Gmail does not allow nearly the amount of SPAM that Yahoo allows and it is FREE

    Within the last year or two, I have been getting more and more spam. This just seems like an attempt to get me to pay for your premium membership. This doesn't happen with G-Mail and it was never a problem before you started your premium service. I believe Yahoo is purposely allowing more spam to come through. The only thing it's going to do is make me cancel my service with you after over 25 years and go with a different service.

    Improve spam by improving the NOT SPAM button. I have marked emails Not Spam many times, the same ones and yet they continue to be sent to the Spam folder!! Please improve this function!!!

  • R Maria Carrau commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can't block spam email anymore, more spams than ever coming in hundreds. Please help to make it easier to block spams.

  • Heather Butler commented  ·   ·  Report

    Getting much more Spam in my Inbox, and asked "do you want to unsubscribe" instead of just marking as spam and stopping those type emails. I get inundated with spam about so-called "deliveries" from Ace hardware, Banks, CVS and others. ALL are from different emails and NONE are legitimate company email addresses. Why does this keep happening? Please make the spam filters "stronger." Thanks.

    Camp Legeune emails are blowing past yahoo spam filters. I'm gotten NINE in the past 90 minutes. The problems is that the subject lines are NOT plain text, but are encoded. To say the spam filters suck is an under statement. These emails have a return address at is over 350 characters. How hard can it be to flag any email with a return address over 40 characters as spam? The subject line is over 400 characters. GIVE ME MORE CONTROL. And, yes, I do flag them as spam. (Funny how your not allowed to say the category of feedback is SPAM.) Please pay attention to this issue.

    Write software to block emails from any source that has a string of letters and numbers as their email address and ends in @ with another string of letters then .org.uk

  • Jeff Berg commented  ·   ·  Report

    Spam is out of control. No matter how many i mark as spam (or unsubscribe), they still show in inbox. I can't keep this up. If it doesn't get better soon I am just going to close up my yahoo account.

  • Patti L Britz-Stensaker commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am missing so many emails because they are being archived. I have not changed anything on my settings. Help!

  • Marni D Holmes commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stop spamming my contacts and telling me that 'you think they are spam, even though they are on my contacts list!' Do you hear yourself?? WE KNOW IT'S NOT SPAM BUT WE ARE SPAMMING IT ANYWAY. WTF??

  • TM commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, there is only one solution to your request. The solution is to delete your account.

    Currently when you create a filter to move [From]: John Doe to spam or to inbox, the filter doesn't work.

    Another example is I get emails from my mobile provider for messages and they're automatically moved put in the spam folder (in error) despite crating a filter [FROM]:@domain.com, it doesn't work.

    Only Gmail's filtering scheme is intelligent enough to filter properly based on the rules.

  • TM commented  ·   ·  Report

    Right now, users can accidently press or click on the unsubscribe button when known spam enters the inbox. To avoid this, allow users to remove the unsubscribe button from the option where it asks us to unsubscribe or report spam. Have the unsubscribe function as a separate button.
