One small correction: When you solicit an ad (like when you ask yahoo to
enable popmail, on the condition that they can send an ad to your mailbox)
it is NOT spam.
Spam = Unsolicited Commercial and/or Bulk EMail. In this case, you
solicited the mail by agreeing to yahoo's terms of service, so it is not spam.
