Greg, Pardon me for butting in. A narrow filter can protect you from Yahoo's bulk mail, and still pass mail from private yahoo subscribers and groups. If you notice, yahoo seems to have a naming convention for their mail servers based on the category of mail they carry. This allows you to fine tune your filter. For example, your bulk mail piece is from: "mailer33.bulk.scd.yahoo.com". Mail from Yahoo mail subscribers are from "web20201.mail.yahoo.com", etc. Mail from groups (lists) are from "n16.grp.scd.yahoo.com", etc. HotJobs.com uses "mx03.hj.scd.yahoo.com", etc. Therefore blocking "bulk.scd.yahoo.com" should do the trick and produce less collateral damage than blocking all of yahoo.com. Of course, this is just my observation, I don't have official information. Harry Tabak Greg 'groggy' Lehey wrote: > I've just received the following spam from Yahoo!, not for the first > time.
