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

After going back and looking at the Junk folder in my Thunderbird, it appears that the amount that came in through my SBC account is less than it used to be. Most now comes through my mcsummation account, which is unfiltered at the ISP.

Now, are the filters that Yahoo seem to be installing any better than the previous ones? I am concerned with ISP filtering because Yahoo's filters kept filtering out things I didn't want filtered. My primary account is at 1&1 and I specifically asked if they filtered and they said, "No, because we can't know what you consider junk and what's not."

Maybe --

In This Thread there has been some notice of a similar decline and a speculation that Yahoo is upgrading some of the servers to reduce the spam before it even gets near your account.

I've noted a similar reduction...from hundreds per day to hands full. So, I'm hoping the speculation is right. If it is, they may not have gotten to McSummation See Profile's server yet.
