This was true for my account too. I don't think this should be tolerated. ----- Original Message ----- From: ptimlin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 12:31 PM Subject: [jp1] Important info on Yahoo Spam with Yahoo Groups...
Just learned this from another list and I encourage everyone to pass this on to any other Yahoo Groups they belong to. I think this is a violation of Yahoo's Privacy Policy. I have already sent feedback to Yahoo complaining. Wonder if they will even reply. Here are the details..... Yahoo has changed everyone's "marketing preferences" to "yes" so everyone will get loads of "offers." I just checked mine and it was true. Go to the main YahooGroups page and click on "Account Info" at the top right. When your account comes up (you will probably have to enter your password again), scroll down to the e-mail addresses portion and click on "Edit Your Marketing Preferences" where you will probably find a check in the 'Yes' column by each and every thing. Then go to the bottom of the page and make sure you uncheck the places where you give them permission to mail stuff or call you (unless you want them to, of course). Make your changes and click on "Save Changes." Hopefully this will help cut down on the amount of spam people get and more importantly, help keep people from quitting our group because of it! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
