Anybody else having Yahoo Mail's spam filter just. . . not work anymore? It's still catching most things, thank god, but before when maybe 1 or 2 messages every couple of days would slip though, it's become upwards of 20 a day. There are a couple of questions about it on the Yahoo Answers thing, so I'm assuming it's not just me--my email's not been put out anywhere new or any such thing that would cause this; it's not new, it's the same old spam that I'd see if I flipped through my bulk box for whatever reason. It started shortly after they updated the internet mail system thing--I'm still using the classic style because it loads more quickly, but they're edging the classic towards the new, it looks like, with this last update with the no-window-change flagging function and all. I don't know. Anyway, it's getting really annoying, especially because they come frequently and fast enough that they'll come into the inbox while I'm checking my mail, which means that since I just go through my messages from one to the next, I'll open up a spam message that wasn't there when I got rid of them before starting to peruse the inbox and then have to worry about viruses and such.

Yup. One I usually get is CANADIAN PHARMACY! But actually I haven't been getting much spam at all anymore, maybe one or two messages every few days? Which I'm OK with. :)

It catches my entry replies from LJ. It is fucking stupid. And useless.
