Here's a quick-and-dirty breakdown of spam received (e.g., not blocked)
at my primary addresses thus far in 2015:
count source
----- ------
157 outlook.com/hotmail.com
19 aol.com
104 google.com
1021 yahoo.com
1301 total over MAGY
----- ------
2245 1495 other assorted sources, mostly snowshoe
----- ------
3546 total
So, roughly 1/3 of the 2015 spam that was addressed to me and made it past
my filters came from MAGY -- none of whom have answered an abuse complaint
this decade.
I typically get about 200-300 per day pre-filter (I don't have any blocks in
place, for science), and very little of that comes through MAGY. So the only
conclusion I think you can realistically draw from this analysis is that MAGY
are a spam problem for you because of the positive reputation that they have:
mail from them is so much more likely not to be spam than to be spam that the
occasional spam message that comes through them gets a higher score than it
should.
This would seem to be an indication that they are spending their admin money
wisely, not foolishly. Yahoo, the worse offender, is delivering about three
spam messages a day to you. That's _minuscule_.
