   Yahoo usually terminates an account if the user overruns the email limits, which I think is about 50 emails.
   If Yahoo finds a lot of the same email coming through to may users it calls them spam and sends them to yahoo users’ spam folders, especially if the yahoo user does not have the sender address in their contacts list.
   Hard Bounces mean that the account is no longer in existence, not that yahoo has blacklisted a sender.
   A soft bounce usually means the account exists but the mailbox is full.

   The best way to handle that is not worry about what shows up in your Spam folder. It’s already considered Spam by Yahoo! which is why it’s not in your In Box. Generally, you don’t even need to look in that folder unless you’re expecting something from someone you know that hasn’t arrived in your In Box. Otherwise, theirs no need to even open it, especially no need to ever open ANY of the email in that folder. Yahoo! empties it for us periodically, so we don’t even have to do that.
