They can email me here at my junkmail account. I filter out the
newsgroups I want, and the rest gets deleted. It's also useful for
those sites that make you "join" to get access.

It seems Yahoo! is once again trying to spam its users without
consent. They did some
server rework last week, and the news is out that they have set *every*
account to receive spam and to give out your email and phone number to
marketing groups. This is bad! VERY BAD! :(
If you have an account with Yahoo Groups. Follow the instructions below
to get yourself *out* of their latest scam. Do it quickly, or else one
will likely be spam to death, receive numerous calls from telemarketers,
etc. DO IT NOW!

Yahoogroups seems to have taken the time last week while the service was
down to add a "marketing" area to everyone's account. In setting this up
the default they have set is "yes" which means you must "opt-out" if you
don't want to receive e-mail advertising offers, etc.
They set everyone up to receive spam. Here's the directions to change
all preferences to "no" so you won't receive their advertising.
Go to the Yahoogroups page:http://www.groups.yahoo.com. After you log
in click on Account Info on the top right corner of the screen. Enter
your password when prompted, then below the listing of your email
addresses, you'll see a link for "Edit Marketing Preferences", click on
that. You'll see it's set to Yes (please send me spam) on every
option. Set them all to No, don't forget the two towards the bottom of
the page about phone and snail mail spam and click the button to save
it.

Yahoogroups seems to have taken the time last week while the service was

They set everyone up to receive spam. Here's the directions to change
all preferences to "no" so you won't receive their advertising.
Go to the Yahoogroups page:http://www.groups.yahoo.com. After you log
in click on Account Info on the top right corner of the screen. Enter
your password when prompted, then below the listing of your email
addresses, you'll see a link for "Edit Marketing Preferences", click on
