Actually, it's a very good spam filter. It, by default, adds headers to
the message (X-Yahoo-FilteredBulk or somesuch). I've received some
fourty thousand mails over my yahoo.ca account; some of them spam. I
have NEVER EVER gotten a false positive from Yahoo's spam
marking/filtering stuff, and it caught about %65 of all spam. That's
pretty god-damned impressive.
