Default Yahoo Spam Filter Sweetspot (keyword set)

I believe I have the Magic keyword Set to keep almost all Spam away from your Yahoo mail account. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
I didn't believe it myself though .How long this will last I don't know.
And I have not added a single URL to my block list in days (been plagued for months by the same spammers [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img])
So How did I do it?
Open your Mail box look for Options on the right top corner. Click on this link..
OK look down the middle Column (Management) for the Filters link
Next page has 2 panes Whats saved is on the Left. And whats contained in the Filter is on the Right
To make a Filter press the Add button OK
New Page opens And it is important where the following are placed OK?
and do not tick the "match case" box
And add a different file tag to each filter otherwise they wipe each other out
[img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Here goes, there are 6 to be made of prime Spam keywords
1)Kw-Order
Put this in the Body: line (4th down) then set the menu beneath to Trash then press the Save changes button
2)Kw-Approval
Put this in the Body: line (4th down) then set the menu beneath to Trash then press the Save changes button
3)Kw-Med* ("*" is Shift +8)
Put this in the Body: line (4th down) then set the menu beneath to Trash then press the Save changes button
4)Kw-Advisor
Put this in the Body: line (4th down) then set the menu beneath to Trash then press the Save changes button
5)Kw-grow*
Put this in the Body: line (4th down) then set the menu beneath to Trash then press the Save changes button
6)Kw-erect*
Put this in the Body: line (4th down) then set the menu beneath to Trash then press the Save changes button
Finally 1 to keep the majority of Nigerian Scammers out of your hair [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Type your surname in the Header line(top line) and Solicitor in the Body: line and save as above.
All I have had to do is click on Empty Trash daily, and No spam has appeared in the Bulk folder[img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
I tried Keywords Notify and Notifications. But that managed to block almost all my mail [img]/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
I've visited some websites with Spammy keywords that could be blocked and they only had phrases and half of my keywords, 100's of their suggestions. Many of which I've tried with little or no success over several years. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Default Re: Yahoo Spam Filter Sweetspot (keyword set)

Answer this...I have had only 2 Spams since I set this up [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
The first with no keywords worth blocking for future use
The second had one of the target words and the filter accepts wild cards..."*"
How did that happen? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Looked at it again and cannot see any way that could sneak past ,yet there it is sitting in the Bulk Mail folder! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
