Hello list,
Everybody who has an account on yahoo probably knows that
they sell their lists of email users to spammers. This is
the condition upon which users get "free" service. However,
they also send destination addresses to spammers also! This
means that if you have a yahoo email address and send your
wife or girlfriend a message using yahoo, she will immediately
be deluged with spam advertising penis extenders, etc.
Be forewarned.


Interesting. Probably a good reason to use yahoo
whenever I send mail to abuse@somewhere . . .
