97 spam emails on a Sunday!!!!!!!!
Better effort on the part of Yahoo is needed to detect spam before letting it get through to users.

I received an email from <cviegas2002@yahoo.com>
The email is a phishing attempt. Here are the first few sentences of it,
"Your email address has violated our terms and conditions which was indicated at the time of registration, if not verified you might lose access to all Emails by 11/5/2022
Please click the "Update Now" link below to update your account to avoid losing your mails:
Log In Now My account.Yahoo.com"
Please close this email account as soon as possible, to prevent him from doing any harm to unsuspecting people.

The spam filter sent several emails from a coworker to the spam folder. These emails came from the SAME DOMAIN AS MY EMAIL. Same small business account. How could these have possibly been labeled as spam?

Based on the number of spam emails I am getting and reporting to Yahoo, it seems clear that they are no longer even attempting to filter spam email unless you sign up for a pay service.

The SPAM blocking features are a weak and need to be updated for Yahoo & AOL since they've partnered up and use the same platform.
There was a response from Yahoo & AOL support about SPAM that read...
Yahoo... We automatically filter suspected spam messages, but if you’re still getting overwhelmed with emails mark them as spam or unsubscribe from mailing lists. Additional information can be found here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/sln28056.html
Thank you!
Mail SupportAOL... Here's an article with more information on how to control our spam:https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-spam-and-privacy
DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS.... THE UNSUBSCRIBE LINK COULD BE A VIRUS, MAILWARE OR A TROJAN... THIS IS HORRIBLE ADVICE FROM SUPPORT... A EASY WAY FOR YAHOO & AOL TO NOT DO THE NEEDFUL AND FIX THE REAL ISSUE.
I'm thinking of closing my Yahoo & AOL email accounts because they aren't listening to legit CUSTOMER CONCERNS!
WTF!!!
Here's one example of why we need wildcard blocking for domains & users, look at these senders that send me over 100 spam emails a day; I block them and they make a slight adjustment to the domain name and keep the spam rolling...

The fact that emails in the "Bin" folder are permanently deleted after a week is incredibly frustrating. Sometimes I don't realise I need an email until well after a week but it's too late by then. This time limit should be optional - I'm sick of having emails pile up in folders because I'm too worried they'll be important at a later date.

I am not a tech so do not know how to stop this. Could Yahoo increase the amount of emails we are able to block to infinity so we can continue to block all the spam? Not really the point though. Would be better if we did not receive them period. Any thing that could be done to stop this would be fabulous and really appreciated. Thank you!

WTF Yahoo???? The spam **** is out of control & to help me you want me to pay for an upgrad support plan?? Seriously?? Spam Guards Suck!
Your "Tech" buttons are bs and and endless loop
How about helping customers without forcing them to sign up for another ****** plan to get more spam -

1) Spam features are a critical aspect of any email application, this not being a selectable feature to provide feedback for is a heck of an oversight
2) Your spam filtering is abysmal and seems to only get worse with time
3) Despite allowing the same kind of spam day after day, known contact email gets sent to Spam for no apparent reason. Please fix your whitelisting
4) I don't experience these issues with gmail (or even the hotmail account I don't use anymore; y'all really can't compete with _hotmail_?
5) I would have gladly voted hundreds of similar "ideas" that you've already closed. Close this without addressing it and I will stop using Yahoo altogether. -

Block sender options is not available if the name contains an emoji. I get spammed by random websites, the emails go to spam folder, fortunately. But I can't block their email.

It's pretty ridiculous how you let users mark things as spam OVER AND OVER AND OVER yet, you still put the known spam in our inbox AND then have the gaul to try to charge us to block it. Get serious.

Almost half my emails are spam. We need a better filter for free!

Isn't your spam filtering supposed to learn from marking things not spam? I get regular emails from my software and 90% of them land in my Inbox, 10% in spam folder. Identical emails. I have literally marked the same email not spam a thousand+ times and they still get filtered. If you aren't going to teach your filter to learn by marking not spam, at least provide the decency to let us specify some email addresses to never filter to spam. These aren't just random emails, they are important customer updates that I can't afford to lose and I shouldn't have to spend this much time fishing around my spam folder to retrieve them.

I'm averaging 7 or more spam emails a day now, from addresses such as 5122f5d4dmslsMLSDOOD9D0912@nadallom.com along with 165 others (and counting), with similar obviously computer-generated addresses. Why these emails manage to make it past the spam filters on a paid Yahoo+ Mail account is beyond me. Fix this, or I will take my decade of loyalty to Yahoo and my subscription fees to another email provider.

Yahoo spam filters are generally reliable, but have been wholly incompetent at handling the massive amount of spam generated by scams relating to Camp Lejeune settlements. I've never been in the military and wasn't even alive yet when the water contamination occurred. It's absolutely ridiculous how much Camp Lejeune spam gets through to my inbox.

The Yahoo spam filter used to be quite effective at catching spam. However, since late September / early October most spam emails have not been caught by the filter and instead delivered to my Inbox. These emails are obviously spam ("Your McAfee subscription expiring", "You have won a competition", "You have a package", etc.).
Clicking the "Spam" button to report an email as spam doesn't seem to have any effect on limiting the spam delivered to my Inbox. -
