spam filter? Is Yahoo's spam filter becoming less robust? Nearly everyday I get an e-mail from a source which I check as spam -- yet, rather than other future e-mail from that source going into my bulk mail box, it shows up in my inbox -- where I check "spam" again -- and so on and so on. I'm now getting more mail which I identify as spam in my regular mail box and by checking "spam", it doesn't seem to make a difference. Also, just recently, I've started getting more of the usually recognizable spam which up until recently, the spam filter had been filtering -- and now it is not. Hence my question, is the spam filter less robust? And if not, what can I do to make sure that when I check "spam", future correspondence from that source remains as "spam?"
