BT Yahoo mail

Anyone else having trouble getting a lot of spam mail in their inbox.?
I have moved at least 30 daft emails today into spam.
Usually BT quite good at stopping this but last few days has been awful. Seem to remember this happened about 6 months ago but had rectified itself.
More annoying than anything .
Rant over :)

    I wonder if Yahoo have stopped their spam filters as a cost cutting measure? Personally I found Yahoo always the worst for spam whilst I used them.

    My BT mail is fine, but it's not Yahoo any more so perhaps that makes a difference.

    I had this problem about 4 weeks ago. All the emails had a similar generic root address so I created an extra spam folder to send them to but it did stop after a couple of weeks.
