Recently Yahoo updated / changed their email and it has resulted in a couple hundred percent increase of spam delivered to the MMC mailbox. So much so that I wondered if I had unintentionally shut off their “Spam Guard”, I hadn’t. What is most annoying is that the Club gets so few mails of importance to begin with…
Also, I think I will go ahead and kill the brian@mr-miata.net address as it has been attracting lots of spam lately too. I rarely used it anyway. I was going to get cute and try to obfuscate that email address, but what does it matter if it will no longer exist after tonight. So if you have that email in your address book go ahead and delete it. Try Brian_the_Red with the domain, OK?
Started down, still down.

Yahoo has been spam central for the last few months, it’s most annoying 🙁
Hey Brian! I have used Yahoo for a backup personal e-mail account since 1998 and I believe that my spam box has remained a consistent 65535 messages since as far back as I can remember. Yahoo and AO-Hell have remained targets for spam and it’s really tough to rid yourself of it in a non-postal fashion. In this case, you will have to be like a midget at a urinal — do your best to stay on your toes.
I use YahooPops to download the MMC mail to Outlook Express, I may try a spamblocker software to trash the stuff that gets through to OE.
