    Your filter program is not working, I have several" remove to trash folder if" filters. The **** and vulgar sites still get through with those words. Yahoo is fast becoming a huge disappointment.

    You completely stopped blocking spam. I exhausted all 1000 email addresses and domain blocking and can not block emails anymore, but till a few days ago your algorithm at least was smart enough to put spam email into spam folder, now they all getting to inbox. Please fix that.

    Please stop offering to "unsubscribe" from spam emails as it just lets a spammer know the address is "live".
    When a spam email passes Yahoo's filter, as it OFTEN does, and Yahoo should only offer to delete the email.
    The phony spam "newsletter" should NOT be added by Yahoo to the list of "offers" by Yahoo to unsubscribe on my behalf.

    I would like to know why are we all getting so much SPAM lately? I have had this email address since yahoo started. Now, suddenly I am getting all spam every day. Is it because Yahoo wants us to purchase their new Virus Protection? Is this why this is happening? IT NEVER USE TO PEOPLE OF YAHOO!!!

  • Linda Shannon commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't want to see anything regarding men or women's anatomy in my income emails. I don't want to see anything concerning ******* or other suggestions ! Please stop the filth !!!

    Yahoo's spam catching algorithms have not kept up with the world of spam. I get about 10 "marketing" emails a day from addresses which are clearly spam. Here's an example of the address of one: uy09pivuur5a2jpkkka9x3q@ezhuqvtbdwfp5lnfb0vv8db.mbahprediksi.site. These spam emails often show the same display name, but you can't block the sender as they are randomizing their email address and domain name each time. Yahoo -- please improve your spam logic to recognize bogus email addresses!

  • David W Biddle commented  ·   ·  Report

    Right now we can only block by the email address - example "info_flipDQ1EaHT@news.qgwhirygusd.com"
    All they have to do is change a number or letter and it's a new email that won't be blocked. However what shows on the email received is "RenewalbyAnderson", so allow blocking the email be what shows and there is not many ways they can change the email so it will be easier to block.

    I believe you have loosened up the spam filter so you can make it unpleasant to use your free email. You want us to change to your paid version. It's not going to happen! There are other free email services that have much better spam filters.

  • Lisa Ganey commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think you are trying to force your users into paying for "better" mail so that you can charge a bunch of money. There are too many other options that actually screen out the hundreds of junk mail messages I receive each day. Your greed is going to cost you users.

  • Lisa Ganey commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your spam filter is non-existent! It used to block much of my spam, but now everything comes through to my inbox. It is too much to deal with and if you can't or won't fix it, I will stop using this as my primary email and then phase it out over time.

  • Matthew Reichert commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your inability to detect and block malicisouis emails is embarassing. I rarely uses this account and I get hundreds of spam emails in this mail bax and they usuallully all follow the same format so they would be easily detected by the most basic anti spam systems which shows Yahoo has zero protections for users.

    I have been getting Spam emails from 21451043@offer##-zoqloq.com where "##" is iteration of random numbers. I used filters for "To:" containing and Block Sender incl. "zoqloq.com," "-zoqloq.com," "21451043@offer," but nothing works. Yahoo! Mail sucks!! Filter or Block Senders DON'T WORK.

    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

  • J Carlson commented  ·   ·  Report

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

  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Report

    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!!!!!

  • john logan commented  ·   ·  Report

    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

  • george guarrasi commented  ·   ·  Report
