Why is it that my gmail account manages to block all sex related spam but yahoo does not?

I never ever get sex spam from gmail. Also,why is it that adding all that gobbledygook like xqazyeputsfhn allows sex spam to get thru?

Maybe it's because Yahoo is the world's largest supplier of free email. A LOT bigger than google's gmail. As to whether your spam is sex related or not, do you open and read this stuff to make sure you are getting spam? If so, read what the experts say:


Spammers have automated scripts that send emails out using a "dictionary attack". This means their script just sends out tons of emails to various combinations of numbers and letters at different domains. Kind of like if you just start calling phone numbers starting with 100-100-0000 then 100-100-0001, etc. They don't know what is a valid email address and what is not. When you reply to one (try to unsubscribe, or replying back telling them how you hate them), you are now confirming your email address is a real, live email address. They have special lists of those, because they know they're guaranteed real. They then sell those lists to other spammers at a premium. Then you get more spam!
