Yahoo mail - spam filter failure

Hi,
Fairly quick query - I've gone around in circles in Yahoo help section with no luck!
Basically in the last week my spam filter seems to have failed on my free yahoo webmail account. Really obvious junk has come straight through to inbox in ever increasing amounts (the usual online pharmacies :rolleyes: and friendly females :eek:).
Each time I tick them and "report as spam" and get thanked for improving "SpamGuard".
Then the exact same messages get through again.
Am I missing an obvious glitch? Tried to look through settings but basically spamguard is either on or off. And yes it is turned on
Thanks for any ideas - I suspect it's a case of put up n shut up

I don't have an answer, but have you tried using "Contact Us" in the Help area?
I have contacted Yahoo many times on financial page errors and generally get a response after a day or two - or three
