Complaint to yahoo, get spammed

Mark Ferguson

Complaints to Yahoo.com about their spammers will only get you more spam.

I receive spam, many spam, directly from yahoo.com's mail servers. They continue to allow spammers to use their servers for their 419 scam and other confidence scams. Instead of terminating these spamers yahoo signs up those that complain to a survey they are expected to complete and even if they are terming these spammers what makes them think they can give permission to somebody else to send a survey? What makes them think they can send me a survey? Yahoo is scum.

Because you send them a complaint about the spam coming from their servers does imply there is some sort of transactional relationship. Advising them of the spam is a courtesy and that courtesy gets your email address signed up on a spammer for hire's list. This is spammer think and it is unacceptable.

I have banned their spider from my site and will be adding their IP space to filters. My family and friends will have to find another provider to send me email. The spammer for hire [confirmit.com] Yahoo hired is not aware of what they are doing because with a name like yahoo you should be able to trust them; never again.

I have found and listed the following IP space as spam friendly and denied access to my server from them:
