The Evil Yahoo Spam Filter

[keiko]

That thing that will let some exiled prince from Nigeria ask for your bank accny # but swallows important emails from hosting companies about your website etc, you know what I'm talking about? It's got to go. Away. Far away.

I totally agree with you... but then again I could give you my e-mails, which are full of spam... mighty spam... wonderful spam, mighty spam...
Sorry.. A wafer thin Monty Python moment...

Yeah, it's a major pain in the ass. I feel like if you want to sign up for an opt-in newsletter, your mail service shouldn't block it. I believe in personal filters, not system wide filters. They are too easily abused. I've been enjoying Thunderbird for checking my mail accounts lately. It has a decent spam catch system that is pretty intelligent and customizable.

Yahoo often blocks mail from me.. no matter what account i mail from
often because i am responding to people who lost their password
Yahoo probably thinks people should not get their porn site passwords

I swear anything from yahoo sucks, in my opinion anyways

Alrigth no problem at all, i was slightly confused for a moment

Ever since earlier this year, when Yahoo decided to delete all of the vhat user rooms and such, many sites and groups on Yahoo have had this trouble, My groups I belong to and own there have had nothing but trouble since then. Some of Us there feel that before long, Yahoo will totally delete anything of a "Adult" or "Alternative" theme

yeah yahoo sucks ass. i had THE COOLEST email address... imthedevil83@yahoo.ca and i had it for maybe 6 months... then out of nowhere one day i couldnt get into my account... it kept saying my password was incorrect and i KNOW my fuckin password.. i just couldnt get back in... like ever... i lost my whole yahoo messenger list, which really sucked cause i havent been able to find half the people on it again and some were really cool
and yet somehow... for some fucked up reason... i created a new yahoo account after that!! WTFs wrong with me hey?

[Vitorro]

I had that problem for a week, evilvampire69s Id was deleted till I got ahold of customer service reps and ripped into them about it, and got back all I had gained(almost all anyway) in less than 24 hours, and lost only a quarter of My contacts since I had them saved on a different email service

[mmmcherry]

yeah i tried to email customer service shit for that, they didnt write me back, so i thought fuck that... they do that one more time and im bombing yahoo headquarters.

[keiko]

All together now "Blame Yahoo!" (sung to the tune of "Blame Canada").

Yeah I had a similar issue...turned out to be an annying case of Yahoo's over sensitive case sensitive nonsense.

luckily, at the time I knew someone that worked for them at a server site and got a 800 number to call and complain, if I still had it , Id post for anyone to use, but I only had it the one time and lost it and he dont work for them now, and is offline for a while

[mmmcherry]

awww damn... ... i should try to make that wicked email again... but not at yahoo hehe... somewhere else.

what is this wonderful thunderbird you speak of darling forrest?

I hate Earthlink's spam filter. It won't accept any emails unless the account holder approves it. So a lot of times, I have a hard time reaching my friends if they have Earthlink accounts. It won't even take it into a bulk folder; it just sends them back unseen.
