Is your Yahoo account getting spammed?

[Doggiedog]

I was checking my mail when it said I had 7Mb of messages.

I went to check my junk mail to see some guy kknem@ private.21cn.com sent me 155 huge spam messages.

Now, every time I delete it there is more again.

While I wrote this I just got 5 more that are 818K in size.

The Bulk Mail folder works great at Yahoo...but I don't get spammed near as much as you are.

My Hotmail account, however, blows. I get about 25 pr0n messages a day

Can't you just block that guys email addy?

I get stealth spam all the time. No subject no message and no sent from.

My Hotmail account is the worst but some guy is spamming my Yahoo mailbox continuously right now. Hopefully blocking it will help. Usually, Yahoo is quite good about spam.

I have been noticing an increasing amount of spam at my yahoo account I have had for almost 4 years now. That is why I just registered my own domain name and am going to set up some email accounts, hopefully they wont get that address for a while.

I have a Yahoo! email address and it is not getting spam

if you're getting spam from someone using a hotmail account, you can forward it to abuse@hotmail.com and they'll close the account. Probably won't stop the punk in the long run though.

<<Is your Yahoo account getting spammed?>>

No where even close to what my hotmail account is getting. I exhausted the "Block Sender" option in hotmail many moons ago. They have a limit of something like 100 addresses. Yahoo's still pretty clean.

Hotmail spam = 10-20/day
Yahoo spam = About 1 per week
