I have yahoo mail and everyday there is three to five but I just report it as spam and it goes away. We changed to DSL yesterday and have MSN now which says it has a better spam blocker. We shall see. Dooley

Nope, Frank. I used Yahoo when my server was down and out post Katrina. I still have the address and must go in and delete 2500 spam posts at least once every two weeks. I think I'll just close the account. Opening another one is pretty easy. Or Gmail is OK too. So far, no spam with that address.

 Gee, I feel slightly insulted,
I have 2 Yahoo mailboxes and don't get any spam in either one.

I get over 250 daily at jan [at] pondlady.com. Of course, I run a business web site and have my address, phone number and email all over it, so it's to be expected.

Jan I edited your post so that your email address will not be spidered by email spiders roaming the Web. We don't want you to get anymore spam 
Whan I mentioned the spam total for this morning that was in addition to the 60-70 odd emails that were in my Spam folder as well.

Thanks, Frank. I'm not sure it's possible to get any more than I get already. I use a totally separate address for the web site, but have it forwarded to my main address, so I get it all everyday. I have a good filter system tho, so do not have to read any of it.

Has anyone seen a decrease in Yahoo Mail spam, I know I keep bringing it up but it is so infuriating and is getting worse by the day. It really irks me to see them advertising their anti-spam defence as a feature.

I get well over 200 spam emails daily. And my server has a strong filter on it, so most don't get through. But I have my email address all over the internet, so I can't expect much different. Hell, you can probably find my email address written on bathroom walls.
