| | Yahoo's Spam Filter Has Gone Kablooee | |
I'm getting tons of spam, from Nigerian diplomats promising me millions. From people promising me $1000 in 48 hours and I don't have to buy any equipment or put down any money...
Some reverend is asking me if I CARE ABOUT PUPPY ADOPTIONS?
People are offering me loans-most in CAPITOL LETTERS...

Mine has never filtered fine. I've even added the word 'urgent' to my list of smap words, and it still gets through constnatly. One word: gmail. I heardt gmail, and the only time I use yahoo is for yohoogroups and Epinions. |

Myway has a great spam filter, as well. But I love the Gmail features.
Where's the party, Cindy?!

My Yahoo filters fine. I only briefly received spam, maybe for a couple of weeks. All the other junk I get I signed up for, one way or another. I should use my Gmail account, though.

The only spam I'm getting on Yahoo is stuff in some sort of Asian text... Chinese? Korean? Check to see if somehow your spam filtering got turned off. |

I'm getting things written in Cyrillic on my work account for some reason (have been for weeks), no foreign languages on the Yahoo! account. About one piece of spam a week gets through on Yahoo.

I've been fiddling with the filters to see what works, I'm getting job offers, more PUPPY ADOPTION and Dear Friend emails.
I'm very tired of the good Rev.RobinPeters and his/her crowd now thank you.
I have an Iwon account-they are the absolute worst for spam.
