I'm not complaining about the filtering. They provide a spam folder and you can log in via webmail and decide which if any you want keeping. This Spamhaus thing isn't filtering. It's blanket rejection of emails from certain sources regardless of content. There's a big difference!
Worth adding that I have never once had a spam email from Yahoo!, so they are shooting at the wrong target anyway. The email protocols are so insecure, and there are so many compromised PCs out there spewing out spam with forged headers, that it's difficult if not impossible to figure out where the spam originated from. The only way to ensure that no spam is received is to block everything from everywhere. Either that or introduce decent email protocols with proper authentication.
