Answer Man is right. During June, I received over 10,000 bulk messages (I’m sure some it was unwanted). I checked all the messages, clicked the spam button, and blocked them. So far, this month, I have only 1200.
That’s far too many junk messages, but it’s a heck of a lot better than what I did have.
You can no longer block email from “people not in your address book or on your buddy list” unless you upgrade yahoo mail and pay for it. You can individually report each piece of spam however, there is a limit of 500 at which time you need to clean the block list out. This is useless because the spam is sent by different senders/domains every single time.
Shame on you yahoo.
