Policies I guess... My opinion is that Yahoo engineers have the spam
problem solved to the extend Google has, but the higher ups are
reluctant to deploy these solutions.
I thought (back when I was using Yahoo mail regularly - upto around
1.5 years ago) that Yahoo's spam detection was excellent. I'm not
sure if they have temporarily been out-evolved by the spammers, or
if Deepa is an outlier.
Any thoughts from the others?
I am sure relative competencies (gmail vs yahoo) play a big role, but
yahoo
has a larger attack surface - they have been around much longer and
hence
spammers have more target addresses @yahoo and are also more familiar
with
their AS approach, dev cycles, etc.
