If a spam email address is blocked, how does it still turn up in my Inbox ?

I'm beginning to see a great deal of spam coming from Yahoo email addresses. In some cases, the spam note indicates that the Yahoo email address which forwarded the spam was "previously blocked." If it was previously blocked. how the heck did it get to my Inbox ?

If a spam email address is blocked, how does it still turn up in my Inbox ?
Because 1) spammers are cunning and relentless, and 2) spam filters can never be 100% effective.
Reply:Spammers don't use the same email address twice for sending out their junk mails. The mails may look the same, but they each come from a different address. That's why the spam blocker can't catch them. If you see commonly used words in the subject lines, you can create your own filters (Options %26gt; Filters) to automatically get rid of emails that contain those words. I have filters that look for "lottery" and "winner", and find it goes a long way to keeping the spam at manageable levels.
