Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Yahoo! stops Spam
Hot on the heels of Google announcing their integration of the Postini security solutions into Gmail through their acquisition, Yahoo! lets us know that they are upgrading their Spam filters. Yahoo! Mail will be releasing a new security upgrade to their email system that is said to block spam, particularly all that junk you might be getting for eBay and PayPal scams. They call the new technology 'DomainKeys', and it will block all phishing, spam and fraudulent emails that might try and sneak in to your inbox. This will all be achieved by verifying the domain of the sender. Sounds like such a simple solution, but we are sure it's more complex under the hood.
The new security updates should be fully rolled out in a few weeks. Also, users should all have been upgraded to include the new mail to sms feature.

DomainKeys has been implemented in Yahoo! mail since 2004:

Does the filter work the other way as well? A majority of all the spam I get at my work email comes from an Yahoo! address

I use Live Hotmail, and I have no spam either.
In this day and age, if you still get spam, I'm quite surprised.
