Essentially all spam at Yahoo (using Spam Guard) is blocked and
placed into a bulk mail folder. Therefore, there>is no distinction
between saying that a mail message was "placed in the bulk mail
folder" or "blocked by spam filters" ...
I checked back with my source, and he confirms that although the
details of Yahoo's spam filters are (not surprisingly) confidential,
it's clear that like everyone else they both sidestream some mail into
bulk mail folders and reject some mail outright. See, for example,
their page http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/spam/spam-17.html at
which gives mailers advice to keep their mail from being rejected or
sidestreamed.
In any event, there's no shame in making the occasional mistake, so
I'm not going to beat this particular horse any more. But please,
let's try not to leap to conclusions in the future.
