There something very wrong here ... Yahoo collects massive amounts of information on you when you use any of their services, especially email, tailors adverts on your My.Yahoo.com webpage if you have one, and sells (allegedly) your email address and information (like/dislikes, pages visited etc) to anyone with a dime. This results in logarithmic growth in SPAM in your mailbox. What was none becomes 2 which become 4 which becomes 8; wait, that's linear. I speak from experience, the volume of SPAM in my Yahoo mail doubles every couple of days. They're nice enough to "filter" it into a "bulk" folder where you can one click/two click delete all but you can NEVER stop it from coming back and growing like the friggin' blob in the movies that eventually ate the whole town. Sure, they say you can block up to 100 addresses but they don't block the domain. The SAPMMERs send from 3773jkjs8838@KingOfSPAM.com one time and then randomize it to 98370108ndqwui88@KingOfSPAM.com the next. So they always get through again. Tell me Yahoo doesn't know this and tell me they aren't smiling out of both sides of their face.

What's wrong here is OddPost touts complex bayesian filtering that "learns" and can block up to 99 percent of SPAM. Wanna bet what will happen now? Oddpost.com mail customers, welcome to SPAM hell. Have a nice day.
