since yahoo ignores the fact their spam filter doesn’t filter, i have decided to approach complaints to yahoo in the following manner,
i copy the message, go to help in the upper right corner, drop down to ‘feedback’, select ‘technical problem’, ‘miserable 1′, and send them a copy of the message.

now IF this doesn’t go to a dead address and IF a human actually reads it and IF a million or so people did it for a few days…MAYBE yahoo would get the message that we are unhappy.

has anyone actually gotten a response from yahoo tech support, [ther than the automated..we got your message and will respond within 24 hours..] i have never gotten a suitable response nor received any help in correcting a yahoo problem.

time to quite rattling on.

People are complaining about loosing legit mails at yahoo and at the same time bombarded with spam. look at my mail box if u have access to it, you will know what i mean, but all emails from my bank, library, friends either don't reach because of that stupid deferred message or land up in bulk mail box. the only thing i would suggest yahoo is too fire ur russian czar who is writing your anti spam software, it is a piece of of bull S..... and believe me your mailing system will be the only thing which will be responsible for your all the problems and may be ultimate closure. do what ever u do to fix ur finances or talk about big management but you will never be able to get those client who left you. you were leaders, now u r not even good followers. yaboohoohoo is what i think is happening right now. If you really want to save your brand get some good anti spam engineers from google fix your stuff or may be shake hands with google and let them manage your email issues.

Almost every time I BCC myself in on an email, it goes into the SPAM folder. I am using classic and this happened even before the recent changes. My email address is in my contacts list. I don't understand. Any help? I have a problem with Yahoo! mail.

It's so they can urge you to buy their Fee based Email. Some of the Spam getting through is so obvious, but doesn't get filtered.
