I've noticed a strange thing with Yahoo's spam filters. They seem to have a high rate of false positives (emails being sent to the Bulk folder that are actually legitimate emails) and a lot of obvious spam slipping through. I mean, how hard is it to figure out that "You're won the Microsoft email lottery" is not a legitimate email? And I must have seen that particular email about 10 times over a short period of time.

Are you reporting the out of place email as spam/not spam? Yahoo normally does a good job for me... but then I actively keep updating them when stuff gets delivered to the wrong folder.
For every "You have won the Microsoft email Lottery" I report it as spam. And yet I keep getting it. The stuff that's not spam but sent to the bulk folder they're good about no longer marking as spam, but it's frustrating to have it marked as such in the first place.

My yahoo account seems to do an ok job. Every once in a while I get some spam e-mail trying to sell me Viagra, and something legit in my spam folder. But usually all 60+ things in my spam folder each day are spam.
Actually, since it has become a habit for me to just delete everything in my spam folder without checking, I may not be an accurate source.
