OK, why wont the Yahoo! Mail Spam Filter except any changes?

I tried changing spam filter entries from email addresses to domains to simplify spam filtering only to have about 2 hours of work not be kept!

Not only were the domain name entries not kept but all the original email addresses that I deleted were still there?

What gives?

Yahoo! is getting more frustrating all the time.

I know RoadRunner doesn't have much of software services but at least it has speed.

Yahoo! just doesn't want to seem to keep up with the growth on the rest of the Internet. They are about 2 1/2 years behind in their blog services while everyone else is speedily moving along without a glitch.

Anyhow, anyone know why their spam filters aren't working?

John

PS RoadRunner really is starting to look more appealing!

    Use the "unsolicited mail" and "no longer unsolicited mail" buttons: the most helpful thanks to stay away from unsolicited mail from entering your inbox is via utilizing those buttons. If a unsolicited mail message is dropped at your "Inbox," click "unsolicited mail." If a non-unsolicited mail message is dropped at your "unsolicited mail" folder, click "no longer unsolicited mail." for added information on utilizing the "unsolicited mail" and "no longer unsolicited mail" buttons please talk over with a thanks to report unsolicited mail to Yahoo!.
