Hello Or:

I visited the URL you posted.  Maybe the offending email would actually
get sent to the yahoo abuse department, but I don't think they care, and
I don't think they will take any action to reduce any spam emanating from
their servers.  Yahoo has a very bad reputation for supporting and
harboring spammers.
