Hah, another old-schooler! I still use a geocities email (which has routed through yahoo since 1999.)
OP, spam is an ongoing challenge for all mail services. And if they haven't started already, it won't be long before spammers use AI so they aren't even using the same form letters. Yahoo has to dance between letting spam through and not sending too many good things there, and it's not easy.
I suggest setting up a custom folder for MSCs and going to Settings -> Filter to create a rule for each one. (For example, one rule says anything where the "from" field contains "ipsos.com" goes to my Mystery Shopping folder.
It doesn't guarantee nothing goes to the wrong place. But spam will never go in that folder since it doesn't fit your filter. And MSC emails are much less likely to go to spam if you have a rule that says to always put them in Mystery Shopping.
