I’ve been bugged by this issue for a long time. I’m very irritated with all the spam ending up in my Yahoo Inbox and i have to spend a lot of time deleting this spam.

So how do i delete the spam?
Select the mail and click “spam” button in the toolbar. gr8 the message is moved from my Inbox into the spam folder and ???. Nothing more, the message is just moved from one folder to another, not adding the senders domain or even the senders mail address to the spam/blocked list.

Am I missing something here, isn’t the spam button supposed to do something more than moving the mail to spam folder??.
Then what is the functionality of the anti-spam features in yahoo mail??

The Outlook ( or any mail client i suppose) adds the senders address ( and has an option for senders domain) to be added to the blocked list. Why doesnt this happen with Yahoo spam button??
Note: All the Mail i mark as spam keep coming to my inbox again and again and again…..

They might be having a different mail-id as sender, but they all have the same domain. But this is the trivial characteristic of a spam i.e. using different id’s ( but they have same domain, though) and should have been handled by the spam features ( when a mail is selected a spam).

Someone calculated that it was so inexpensive to send spam that even if only 1% of recipients bought what was being sold, it would still be cost-effective to send it. However, I receive so much that I estimate that the average person reads less than 1% of the spam they receive.

How do we know, really know, that these organ-enlargement, questionable medication, Nigerian funds, etc., promoters really exist? Could the companies that make money from anti-spam products be secretly behind most or all of the spam, and sending it themselves in order to increase their profits from anti-spam products?

When it comes to spam, Yahoo takes the cake. With all that money it rakes in, you’d think they could find an answer to help erradicate it.
