Instead of not accepting they could get reports sent to a unique address Getting a lot (flood) of porn spam sent to Hotmail which is relayed through Yahoo email servers (another that are non-responsive and do nothing. They do however get reports sent to "interested party"). There is something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something wrong Frustration from reporting spam to Yahoo to subsequently have "nothing" happen is the exact reason I decided to set up my own email server: more control over what arrives in my inbox, including the option to reject unwanted mail during the SMTP dialogue.

Yahoo have been spamming possibly deliberately for years, they use legitimate smtp protocal. Thing is the word spam disinfect what it really is and that flooding DOS attacking sending porn to minors/children phishing, virus attacks etc. I often include this in my spam report Yahoo deliberately ignore it. One that takes the cake is trying to contact abuse#leaseweb.com about a porn site sent to children they send a response The IP address/domain is hosted by Leaseweb Germany. You can contact them at abuse[at]leaseweb.de (which is uncontactable by me, going to try the German Government spam authorites) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
