    Hi all, I am so SICK of Yahoo! that I am just about to REFUSE any person who signs up with a @yahoo.com, @excite.com, or whatever other Yahoo! e-mail list has like rocketmail.com (or whatever the hell it is called). The members who have Yahoo! e-mails right now would still be ok, but I might refuse any more from them due to their IDIOTIC anti-spam tactics. Members complain now they don't get their emails OR new members never get the registration email. I am SICK of Yahoo! I have 1,300 emails in the queue on my server due to them and enough is enough. Yahoo! members, CHECK YOUR SPAM BOX or get another #### email provider like: Gmail.

    What do you all think? I am seriously thinking of a backlash on Yahoo. I am FED UP. Yahoo! members get TONS of spam, yet a legitimate site that people SIGN UP for Yahoo doesn't let the emails get to them? I don't think so. I am done with them.

    IF you have a Yahoo email, I suggest ALL of you complain to them about not getting our emails or even your registration emails. IF they lost THOUSANDS of users...MAYBE, just MAYBE they will think? Huh? Send them this thread?

    Ideas?

    You ain't kidding, I removed all Yahoo e-mails in queue and will see what happens now. Will ban Yahoo members from signing up if this doesn't work.

    I currently have Yahoo and have recently stopped recieving my subscription notifications. I wasn't sure why this happens and didn't want to bother you with it, so I've just dealt with it. But, I think I will take your advice and look for a new email home. After I switch over, how do I get my notifications delivered to the new adress?
     
    WiseOne Thanks this.

    Agreed, I will wait until AM and then stop users from Yahoo signing up. They SUCK and I am sick of dealing with them and members cussing me out and it is NOT my fault. Fact is, Yahoo SUCKS anymore, period.

    It has been done. I am no longer receiving my emails (at least from here for now) at Yahoo. Thanks for the tip Wiseone.

    In your profile options change your email address. You'll be good to go.

    I really like email because you can "train" it to your preferences. If you get spam you just mark it and click on "report spam" Gone for ever from your inbox.
    If some thing gets caught by the spam filter you just mark it and click "not spam". Good to go.
    I love it. I hope they never change!
     
    18wheeldumptrucker and ETS FTW Thank this.
