Default anyone use yahoo mail?

if so, are you getting **** loads of spam the last few days?

i've been getting at least 10 a day in my inbox for about a week now and it's begining to **** me off a bit

is it a ploy to get people to try the beta version? (which i find pants!)

went into a hissy fit and was gonna write a ****y email to yahoo but couldn't find a link to directly email someone, just loads of 'help' topics

is it just my turn to be swamped?

Hello

I've had my Yahoo mail account for about 8 years and I get hundreds a day, BUT Yahoo's spam filter normally picks them up.

blimey, you're getting that many in your inbox?

the bulk folder i can live with, but the bit that's got right on my **** is that i can get titles like '*** ******** with your mum' in the inbox, but i do the fantasy football and because of the word 'fantasy' it gets canned in the bulk folder

keep clicking the not spam button but it gets blocked every time while i get **** crap coming through with no problems!

I get hundreds per week as well in fact it's starting to be a pain sorting out my proper mail from the spam.

I know it sounds dafted but I think it's get worst when you use the beta version.

I've had Hotmail for 10'ish years now and I get no spam whatsoever and I've used that email address for everything, including newsgroups and public forums.

Yahoo I get about 10 spam emails a day that make it to my inbox and it's an email address I've kept quiet about.
