Any other Yahoo! Mail users out there noticing more spam getting through the filters lately?

For the past week or two, two or three spam messages per day have been winding up in my Inbox. And these are obvious spams — the usual penis pill/low mortgage rate/free computer crap that routinely fills up my Bulk folder all day and night. I can’t see anything that distinguishes these particular missives from the rest of their ilk, but for some reason, they’re getting past the goalie.

I haven’t had a serious problem with Y! Mail in the years I’ve been using it. I continue to keep it as my “official” email address, despite having a couple of other accounts (including Gmail). It’d be a shame if it started buckling under the spam deluge now.

  2. Good question. I just now was able to get in, after trying several times for the past hour.

    Probably just an isolated blip. But Y! Mail seems to be wobbling lately, what with the spam, the recent unique virus issue, and now this.
