Re: Where did my spam go?

I will . . . I've been holding FOREVER

PS Can you send yourself email successfully?

Yes, a test message I sent from my work system got there successfully.

Still wondering if this is a Yahoo change, or an ATT change.

I'm guessing Yahoo. Because although she did keep saying ATT/Yahoo, I think I heard Yahoo once all by itself.

I don't know whether to be happy or worried: Logged on this morning and found an EMPTY bulk mailbox, rather than the usual 50+, and 2 spams in my inbox.

ETA: I did get a lot of "real" email, so it doesn't look as though anything is missing, but of course, it's impossible to be sure about that!

I tend to get 10 spam in my Inbox per day, 10 spam in the trash per day (with legitimate Yahoo Groups email being routed there too even though it's in my address book) and at least 20 spam in the Spam folder per day. And I never told anyone what my @sbcglobal.net account name was.

I wish I was having your "problem".

I'm also not sure how to react.

»Has AT&T and/or Yahoo started filtering Spam?

I am hoping that someone with a plain vanilla Yahoo account, in addition to their ISP account, will drop in and tell us whether only AT&T addresses (in my case ameritech.net addresses) are affected, or whether this is a Yahoo thing.

I have a vanilla Yahoo account, too, but it has never gotten much spam, maybe 2 a week total, so it's not a fair test.

I cleared mine yesterday and only have three in it today. I usually get 50 a day so they did something.
