I just saw this on another list and it is true.  No wonder my spam ratio 
has gone up considerably.

Yahoo has just made a sneaky change to everybody's 'Marketing
Preferences', the result of which will be a load of spam. To change
them back here's what you need to do to avoid all the ads.
Go to My Groups and click on Account Info, verify your password if it
asks you to, and your Yahoo ID card comes up. Click on 'Edit your
Marketing Preferences' under your e-mail addresses, and change all
those Yes's back to No's! Click Save Changes."
Don't forget the address and phone number at the bottom of that list
too or they will call or mail you things.

I have nothing but trouble with yahoo.
On another yahoo-list, I tried to unsubscribe. Now I cannot post there
anymore, but I still get all the list mails !! Every attempt to complain
at the yahoo support is answered by an automated response. No way
to get in contact with a human being there.
And I get spam, spam, spam from other yahoo accounts.
They lured us there with free mailing lists, and now they are the plague.
