99% of the spam we receive from Yahoo addresses are simply spoofed addresses, not really coming from legitimate Yahoo accounts.

Only on 1 occasion. | I ran a test. Set up a dummy account on my server. Went onto | Groups.Yahoo.com and basically allowed | To receive mail from the "Yahoo" Partners. In my findings, On this Dummy | account, | It received over 50 e-mails in a single week. Though this account was | not given to no one else. | I knew that it was mailing "Spam" that was populated from the Yahoo | Groups sign-up site. | | Not really knowing how other IMail Admin's are receiving Spam from | yahoo. Could it be that they | Customers may have "not knowing" but signed up to receive these messages | from Yahoo? | | As out of the 50 e-mails "Spam" that was received, about 30 of them | was from Yahoo. The remainder | Was from there partners. | | If this message is out of line, please let me know. | Also, I am not taking up for Yahoo. I am just wondering, as I have not | seen no "Actual Yahoo Produced Spam" | Since the Dummy e-mail account was killed. | | Thank you for letting me post this. Hoping know one takes it the wrong | way. | | Wayne | | | | To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html | List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ | Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ | To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
