is the spam button in yahoo mail of any use? or How does yahoo anti-spam work?

anti spam
from Sri

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).

  1. the yahoo spam button does help some – it is not very good…
    I find that a lot of stuff I mark as spam continues to keep showing up in my inbox and a lot of stuff I mark as not spam continues to go to bulk…
    however it is better than if I had not used it at all…

  2. The spam button just stops that email address sending you stuff again and puts it in the junk folder..

  3. i dont know

  4. Ya the spam button allows you to send any e-mails form that sender to junkmail automadicly, and antispam is wat send them to the junk mail. and with outlook u can also set a junk code that will send any e-mail containing a word into your junk mail, such as spam,junk,swear words, hack ect.
