Not to drag this too far off topic, but a few months ago, I received a
spam via Yahoo, which I promptly reported as spam. The morons at Yahoo
decided to block my own SMTP server as well as the spammers, so now I
can't email folks with @yahoo.com addresses from my machine and need to
go through gmail. YMMV, but it's possible the same or a similar thing
has happened here.

their own mail servers and are relying on the Yahhos at yahoo to do it for
them. After about 30 minutes on the phone with India, I was able to get
cctalk whitelisted for my account, but not whitelisted in general so others
using AT&T Yahoo mail servers will likely still have problems."
Of course, the people who are not receiving this are also not going to
receive this explanation of WHY they are not receiving it.
But it fails EVERY test for SPAM.
First, it's not selling ANYTHING.
Second, the recipients REQUESTED to receive it.
