First and foremost, sorry for the crosspost. I'm posting this from
another list I'm on.

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 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 and click the button to save it.
