what happened to the block senders option for spam email? It disappeared a few days ago.
What happened to the block sender option I used to have for spam? It disappeared 2 days ago and it's annoying that you would remove the feature.. Same thing happened to my other yahoo account and the feature never returned.. If you can't get this fixed in a few days or if it doesn't return, I'll be moving all my yahoo contacts to Gmail. What happened and why on earth would you remove it?

Hi there. The block senders option will no longer appear as an option for you if the limit of 1000 blocked email addresses has been reached. The block feature is best used for people, not spam, since spammers can use spoofed accounts. Meaning what you see might not be the actual sender address and in turn you might add inexistent email addresses to the list and continue to receive the same type of spam emails.
Please keep marking these emails as Spam so your personal spam filter learns to recognize them as Spam and send them directly to the right folder. Also, you can create filters by going to mail.yahoo.com from a laptop/PC, click Settings>More Settings>Filters. Here you can add as rule to filter the repetitive terms you see in the subject line or email body.
