    You are not catching obvious SPAM emails to my inbox. That is why I am now using GMAIL. They catch every one!

  • Angela Koehler commented  ·   ·  Report

    Spam should be an option above and the amount of spam you allow through is ridiculous!! It doesn't matter how many times I "block" senders they still manage to come through for the same thing. I'm about to delete my email through Yahoo and go through someone else which is sad because I've had this account for MANY years!

    As a note to Yahoo, the wildcard function is available in Outlook and can be used in the method mentioned to block domains based on part of the domain name. The issue with this, is depending on another provider to filter via desktop software and not easily accomplished on phone or tablet. Yahoo should be able to easily accomplish the same task.

    Below copied from support request that was not answered successfully. The support team did not seem to understand what I was asking for. They kept pointing me to the block domain settings, which will not work in these situations.

    please review support request I sent, the domain name changes constantly, but the ending part of the domain name is the same.
    Using the method you sent below would not work, because each spam email from org.uk has a different domain name but the same suffice.
    example -- Need wildcard to block all email address from @*.org.uk
    In this case, it would block all emails from the domain ending in org.uk by using a wildcard such as #. This wildcard would replace the section of the domain name that precedes the org.uk.
    I sent examples. But here is a simplified version.

    For example: (emails received appear to be different domains, but actually have the same ending suffice)
    xxxxx@aaaa.org.uk
    xxxxx@bbbb.org.uk
    xxxxx@cccc.org.uk

    Each email received in the examples listed above would have different domain names, however, the suffice org.uk is the same in all of them.
    I would have to add each email received to the blocked list, which would be every one of them, so this exercise is useless.

    I am requesting the use of a wildcard to block all emails from "org.uk" (or similar schemes)
    For example:
    xxxxx@aaaa.org.uk >>>> block xxxxx@#.org.uk >>>> the wildcard # would block this domain
    xxxxx@bbbb.org.uk >>>> block xxxxx@#.org.uk >>>> the wildcard # would block this domain
    xxxxx@cccc.org.uk >>>> block xxxxx@#.org.uk >>>> the wildcard # would block this domain

    Stop dropping Substack newsletters. They aren't going to spam you just drop them completely. Why would I pay for a service that selectively delivers my mail?

    Hello,

    1)
    .SK login www page is in .SI (?) language.

    2)
    Customer email cc-advoc@yahoo-inc.com is turn off.

    ====
    What is the email address for Yahoo?

    ...Compose an email that briefly describes your inquiry or concern, and send it to a representative at Yahoo's general customer service email address: cc-advoc@yahoo-inc.com.

    1. Fix your spam blocking before it gets to people's emails as bots are exploiting you're flawed in blocking email
    2. Gives us more than 3 domains to block
    3. Give us more than 1,000 accounts to block
    4. allows us to block by user account as the bots are starting with the same account name followed by a junk domain and subdomain

    But then again yahoo does not care about cyber security and phishing attack until the fed forces you.

    YAHOO stop blocking my newsletters. YAHOO has no right to censor my email. i signed up for newsletters and no longer receive them. Yahoo gets worse everyday

  • Peggy Jean Moore commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have been getting about 10 of these a day, each with unique sender addresses. Have to process them manually one at a time to get rid of them.

  • Steve King commented  ·   ·  Report

    You absolutely suck. Look at all of these endless comments, from people begging for help. You are pathetic.

  • Alexis Munoz commented  ·   ·  Report

    update blocking email addresses to more 1000 on the security and privacy settings
