Yahoo seems to be a favorite spoofed address for many of the SPAM guys and
some virus guys too. I have even received e-mail from my Yahoo address!
Weird people. The problem with AsstroMart is not direct but loaded from
someone on their staff selling addresses plus IP tags and MAC addresses.
Some of the pond scum political types on York's toy are responsible for much
of it, so says my SPAM filter guys, so he is ultimately responsible He must
have a scary home life to devote so much time to such tripe. Anyway,
there are hundreds of astronomy related web sites that are set up to avoid
bottom feeders like Asstromart and some Yahoo groups. Even some of SAA
members spoof addresses. Sick people.
