The new anti-troll/anti-spam measures?

2

Will it be just as easy to abuse these measures as it is to abuse the violation report measures?

What other email services offer a true anti-spam whitelist feature?

2

Spam is making me hate using email. Since Yahoo doesn’t offer a whitelist feature that allows only email from people already in your address book I am wiondering if anyone can offer the names of alternate email services who do? People couild then stop SPAM dead in its tracks. It’s a shame really since several years ago Yahoo at least used to have a terrific feaure that displayed all email not in your address book so they can be easily scrutinized and blacklisted.

Why does the Yahoo anti-spam website not open?

How do I see or find the Yahoo Tool Bar that shows the Anti Spy and Spam on the top bar?

I have downloaded the New My Yahoo with Norton Protect. I can not find or see it on the top Tool Bar when I log in. I went to the dep and added this as an exception, because it was being closed off by Microsoft as a warning to Protect my system. Please help me get out of the mess I created before I accidentally crash my system.
