opposite effect?

Anyone using Yahoo! 's email service will know about the "extra" anti-spam service they've added to the accounts. Everyone can report all spam now, and every report helps their fight against spam... or so they say.

To my opinion the spam issue grown tremendously since I've started reporting every spam mail to yahoo. ... Or is this just me?

Either way they really should do something about this cuz this is getting annoying... better said, it's way past annoying.

Somehow I'm not buying it. Their anti-spam policy seems to have the opposite effect if you ask me. sadly_sighing

But, once again, it could be just me, as usual, with my "unlucky" free online email accounts. One of my previous yahoo accounts was broken into one day.
Someone clearly found his/her way into my account, and conveniently used it to send spam.

How did I find out? Return emails for invalid emails and such which I received in my mailbox.

I reported this too, but at that time, "ghosting" couldn't really be prevented somehow according to the yahoo customer service.

Oh well, we'll see what happens.

Take care,
Marsha

ps. S.Ambrose, are you still alive?

AOL has just set up spam filters too. It seems since they did, I get more spam than ever. I wonder why that is? Thanks for stopping by my blog.
