Terry Semel, Why Do You Fail Me?

It would be a trivial to add a feature to Yahoo Mail allowing users to block entire country level domains from prolific spammers, such as China and S. Korea. But instead you waste your developers' time on useless me-too products.

Happy with hotmail and gmail

I used to receive loads of junks before but nowadays it's reduced to 4 to 6 (in my inbox). Hotmail is doing pretty good job on this followed by gmail (from my personal experience). Hmmm... I haven't tried but will it work if we can autoforward from hotmail->yahoo->gmail->personal website email inbox? ( hopefully I should get nil junks).

Me too

Hotmail's great - I filter everything from the Hotmail spammers into the junk folder.
