So, is there any mechanism for sharing, exporting or importing lists of addresses or using some kind of Regular Expression or white-list approach to cut down spammers' ability to even deliver the mail to a Yahoo! user? =]

How do I stop blocking of outgoing personal yahoo mail by spam filters? My messages are frequently being blocked by spam filters and I rarely get messages back that they were blocked, I can't figure out how to get delisted. A year or two ago my address was spoofed by a spammer and I got bunches of error messages on three different days when the spoof messages went out in mass. It hasn't happened since then. Could that have caused this? Isn't there some place I can register my address as valid and get scrubbed from the filters? It's not the exclusively the user's spam preferences, it is Norton-symantec antispam and a myriad of other corporate solutions, I'm not making it to the spam directories of my intended recipients. Thanks for the tips

Is LoneStar's answer about blocking of spam addresses correct ? LoneStar told me some hours ago that when Yahoo sends a message to the spamfolder in the same time the address will automatically be blocked. May be so, but I controlled the content of my list of blocked addresses, but the amount of adresses there did not increase. Yesterday there were 106 addresses in these list. Today I saw 7 new spam massages in the spamfolder (Yahoo will delete those after a week). But the amount of blocked addresses is the same as yesterday (106). This is crucial. Please, LoneStar (or somebody else) how is this possible ?
