See, that's the thing of it. I take pride in being a pretty staunch
anti-spammer, and I know I never signed up for it (unless it was the stuff
that came with theYahoo pop3), since I never use my Yahoo account - it's
just another spamtrap I check on occasion. They refuse to honor the
unsubscribe messages, and my complaints to the abuse addresses involved go
unanswered. I wanted to check here to make sure it wasn't the one that
came with Yahoo before I moved to more severe complaining, including
possible upstream carpet-bombing...
Thanks for the reply...
