I've long since quit looking at where the crap came from, and started
targetting where they want me to *answer*. Their whole point is to sell
you something, so they have to give you a real point of contact. That's
where the real trail starts.

If enough folks simply block all emails from the
Yahoo.com domain, a lot of
SPAM will go away. It's the same for mindspring, Hotmail, MSN, AOL, etc.
I get a fair amount of spam, and I can't remember the last time I got
any that was actually sent to my machine from Yahoo, Hotmail, MSN, or
AOL. Sure, I get *LOTS* of spam that claims to come from one of them,
but most of the time these days it actually came from a middle school
in Korea. (Whoever put Korea schools in the internet left open relays
at every one.)
