It will only get worse.  As one of the world's largest sites for free
e-mail and mailing lists, Yahoo is naturally the world's #1 target for
spam-flood attacks (typically the kind where approximately the same
message gets sent to [every word in a huge [EMAIL PROTECTED] in a
ten minute period).  Not to mention that even when Yahoo is not the
spammer's target, he'll often use a Yahoo address as the fake return
address, and 3/4 of the spams will try to bounce "back" there after the
To: addresses don't work.)

Now if the space techies on this list could just invent a way to teleport
every spammer straight down the nearest black hole....
