Is there a spam filter that works with the free yahoo email accounts? I want to be able to block spam, not have it go to the bulk folder. Reporting spam doesn't work for me, it just generates more spam. I have the spam filter enabled and I have tried using the filters to block them, but that doesn't help either since I only can have 15 filters. Even then, it doesn't block all the emails with the keys words in the filters. I have rechecked the filters to make sure they're correct but they don't work very good. I don't open spam and I have the images blocked. Spam had gotten down to around 20 or 30 a day, then all of a sudden two days ago I had 100 & some. I have not signed up for any newsletters or anything like that that would have my email address on it. It seems that everything I try doesn't work with Yahoo. Training the filters doesn't work either. I have had the filters set for several months.

Anyone know of a good spam filter for cheap? I'd prefer something that I can install on a MS Exchange 2003 server but something I can install within MS Outlook would work too. I'd love to find a good firewall appliance but they all seem to be too expensive. Thanks in advance.

How do we filter out spam by date in yahoo mail? Seems just as spam filters evolve the spammers find a way around them. For example, spammers have adopted using a future year (such as 2037) to bypass yahoo's spam filters.
