HillsCap Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 It looks as though Yahoo! has changed their tune a bit... every spam I submitted to them in the past, even if it contained a Yahoo! email address, came back with their boilerplate "The spam in question does not appear to have originated from or traveled through the Yahoo! mail system." message. Of course, we're using SBC/Yahoo! as our ISP, so ALL the messages to us travel through the Yahoo! mail system, but apparently they weren't smart enough to figure that out. At least now, they're shutting off email addresses that are advertised in spam. It's about time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewv Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 The response from the big companies has been inconsistent, partially dependent on what email addresses (including non-US addresses) are used for reporting the spammer address. The response you mention is common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dra007 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I have noticed a significan reduction in the spam I used to get at my yahoo address since I started reporting...got down from 200 or more a day to 1-4...I never gave that address to anyone, never made it public....So in effect it worked like a spamtrap...
