Getting BCC spam in my ATT email

You can't put them in spam - there is no option. You can only delete them. I need to be able to filter them but don't know how to filter a email sent that only has my address in the BCC line.   You can' t hit reply.  But you can forward them and I have been forwarding them to abuse @att.net

So I have created a FILTER for email that requires my email in the TO/CC line. If not, then send it to SPAM folder.  We'll see if this works.

ATTHelp Tyler.....thanks for explaining to @gposey777  how to create a filter 20 mins after they said they created a filter.  🙄

@gposey777   Wow, I think you're going to make more work for yourself with that sort of filter.  I get lots of legit email without my address in the TO/CC fields.

What sort of spam are you trying to target, could there be something else to key on (admittedly Yahoo filters are stupidly basic)?
