Yahoo Spam -- Account Info
2002-03-30 by Jim Anderson
One of the things I really hate about Yahoo! is the way that, as they get bigger, they get slimier. I used to really like Yahoo!, and owned stock in them for awhile... not any more! I'm forwarding some info that I gleaned from one of the other Yahoo! groups I'm on. Arrgh, this just gets my goat! Yahoo, smahoo! Do you all remember when Yahoo went down for a few days? Well, here's one of the changes they implemented. Ain't that just so sweet, they signed us all up for lots of Spam. NOT! *** Yahoo has added a "marketing" area to the account set up area of groups. When you go into it you will see that they have set you to "YES" on everything. I highly advise everyone to go in and change it. When you're logged in at Yahoogroups, 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 Your 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. Click the button to save it. -------------- Do it now, and save your mailbox from additional spam. It'll only take a minute. Best, - jim/M400#680
