[EICO] YAHOO email addresses

[Brian Carling]

Ed - I don't think those are really from Yahoo accounts.
I think that they are FORGED.

The spammers can do that to ANY ISP!

I have not had ANY spam from "yahoo.com" based accounts.

I think someone is picking on Yahoo. These swines contantly try to think of ways 
to sabotage our spam filters and to interrupt thngs!

I have two or three filters in use now. One from my ISP, Mailwasher, PLUS the 
mail filtering / spam rejection built into my e-mail program. (Pegasus - it's free and 
excellent!)

That gets rid of 99.9% of the Spam for me!

Good luck with it - Brian
