The Yahoo form hasn't worked for a while. When you do get to somewhere
for reporting spam, a few hours or days later you'll get a response
telling you to submit a report on the exact same form you used. If you
do you end up with the same response. Repeat ad infinitum. Same goes
for their grey-listing/rate limiting report message. I've given up
trying to report anything e-mail related to Yahoo, mostly just apologise
to end users and suggest they use another e-mail provider.

Yahoo!'s abuse contact from whois:
OrgAbuseEmail: network-ab...@cc.yahoo-inc.com
now sends an autoresponse that tells you to go to a web form to report
spam:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/spam.html
but the link doesn't work--it just redirects to a generic Yahoo! help
page at:
http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=product&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML
So how does a non-Yahoo! account holder report spam originating from
Yahoo!'s network?
