nOT ONLY IS IT SPAM BUT 70% PORN SPAM. I've been forwarding it to Abuse@yahoo.com for the last few days. I'll let you know if it does any good.

Sorry about the slightly off-topic post, but I wanted to reply to concerns about participation in Yahoo groups resulting in SPAM in one's mailbox.

I currently belong to 14 Yahoo groups, but only have traffic from 2 of them coming into my mailbox. When Yahoo activated their "Marketing Preferences" profile a year or so ago, I was alerted to their default profile setting that allowed Yahoo send a wide variety of email to my address, so I made sure my profile denied all 13 of those options.

Like most of you, however, I was still getting 20-50 SPAM messages a day, and it seemed to be getting worse.

On Saturday, I disabled my ARRL email address on the ARRL member web site. Within hours, SPAM ceased and I have received NO additional SPAM since then.

If you've got an ARRL "email alias", there might be merit in shutting it off.
