I was told in Live Chat that filtering is not designed to deal with SPAM emails, only other types of emails ..... why??
Yahoo has "filters" as a selection along with Mark As Read, Star, Block Sender, FILTER MESSAGES LIKE THIS, View Raw Message, Print, Add Sender To Contacts .... as I tried to report receiving 5 spam emails sent within a 2 min. period from the same email address of newsletter@kristall.freewww.biz by using Live Chat, I was told filters do NOT work on Spam email notifications (only with "other" emails. Why would Yahoo have it as a possible selection if it doesn't work for SPAM? .... under selecting a filter one can set filters on FROM, TO/CC, SUBJECT, BODY as well as choosing a folder to move it to .... if filters were able to work on SPAM a User could simply use the "begins with" selection under FROM and filter ALL Spam showing many such SPAM emails that show "newsletter", "offer", "noreply", "office", etc to be sent directly to the User's Trash folder instead of marking it as Block Sender or even copy/pasting the Domain under Security/Privacy settings freeing up more room for such Spam not able to filter. According to the selections available under a selection for filtering the email User can filter by FROM in 4 ways (Contains, Begins With, Ends With, Does Not Contain) therefore any Spam from a Sender address that starts with say "newsletter"@ xyz."domain" could be directed to trash and the User doesn't even have to deal with such SPAM! ..... why Yahoo has not worked SPAM to be filtered in such a way with all the complaints being made about SPAM is beyond me. If filters were able to be set for SPAM a User account could not just filter "begins with" sender addresses but repeated domains that are only partials such as "flower.shop", "recruiter.com", etc. It would be a WIN/WIN for both Yahoo and email account Users. Please work on a system for filtering such SPAM notifications, Yahoo would be getting a lot less complaints and account User's could stop using Block Sender and Block Domain for such repetative SPAM freeing up more room for that kind of actual SPAM. Thanks!!
