Yahoo Sends Spam

I thought this was pretty funny. Ive never used yahoo travel before, and a message ends up in my inbox from yahoo which looks like typical spam. I hit the spam button to get this error.

Apparently yahoo thinks of themselves as a "reputable sender".
Dont give microsoft any ideas, yahoo! They'll take over outlook...

I hate yahoo mail. In addition to all the random spam I get yahoo sends it too. I almost never get random spam on hotmail.

This is my email that i give to every site, and it gets spammed bad.

Just signing up for stuff gets you spam.

I have a gmail that is my "real" email and it gets no spam.

Yep, having a few "disposable" email accounts for signups and such works pretty well for me so that more important email accounts don't get spammed.

I use BTYahoo and find them pretty good: that's the same message I would get for any reputable sender if I treat it as

All in all, Yahoo is far better than Orange.

I change to my Gmail, it seems to work. I get no spam there. I've got an old Hotmail that really attracts spam And I don't use it, just go in and delete messages
