    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    Get updates so that all domains can be blocked. In my spam folder, I am getting sexually explicit spam emails from the same domain that I have listed as blocked for months. How does not this horrible domain prevent itself from being blocked? The titles in the spam emails are soliciting sex with explicit language and profanity. Please find a way to block these domains.

    Could you make it so we can block all emails containing a specific string of text found in the raw email message. Spam sites frequently change their domain names but their emails still contain the same text that would easily identify the spammers who keep sending out the same garbage under different domains.
    For example: If we could block a specific link found in the raw message that is used frequently in a spammers email this would block the spammer no matter what domain they use.

    Mostly the junk folder works for me but recently I have found mails from a solicitor, who I have been corresponding with for the last few months, have sometimes been found in the junk folder. How does this happen and can it be corrected? It is very inconvenient and could cause delay in the important transaction with the solicitor.

    stop flooding my inbox with spam

  • E.T. Saffon commented  ·   ·  Report

    Nothing but SPAM in my inbox. Spam filter sucks. Can barely use yahoo. No spam in gmail inbox.

  • Michael Salogga commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am getting HAMMERED by spam emails again. The volume has steadily increased over the past two weeks. Please make the proper adjustments - you've done it in the past.

  • B K commented  ·   ·  Report

    I receive thousands of spam emails that I was allowed to block before. Not only cannot I no longer block spam email addresses, it appears that I receive even more and YAHOO! does absolutely nothing about it. All YAHOO! wants is for you to purchase monthly subscriptions for a useless platform.
