Can Yahoo revoke e-mail addresses of spammers?

To whom this may concern:





I belong to a number of YAHOO groups and spammers are constantly


infiltrating posting the same messages over and over and over. It appears


that they keep signing up for new YAHOO addresses whenever they are


blocked from access. Here are some of the spammers that I am speaking of:

Could YAHOO send a warning letter to them or revoke their addresses?

Can Yahoo revoke e-mail addresses of spammers?
I don't know if Yahoo or any service could prevent this sort of thing. I get the same stuff. Usually a flurry of email with one particular title but sent by numerous others. That is followed a few days later by a very slight respelling of some of the words, or such minor changes in the name of the senders that it all gets through to me AGAIN!





All they have to do is put an _ somewhere and what was previously on your list to be bulked, will get through to you all over again.





My son has a friend who drives a Corvette (24 years old, he is, mind you), has lots of high end items and claims to make close to $1000 a DAY by using some program that sends out spam which in turn is sending out spam to all the address book entries of each person who gets it the first time.





Apparently, every time someone clicks on one of these, he gets paid!





I don't know any more details about it, but you can see there is no incentive to stop.
Reply:You aren't going to get an answer from Yahoo in this forum. And if you knew that it was practically impossible to find spammers, would that make any difference? The E-Mail address for Yahoo! customer care is cc-advoc@yahoo-inc.com. Send the list there and see if you can get some action. You won't get it here.
Reply:the ones Im getting are different


apparently they cant and im getting over 200 a day in just this one account!!!!!!!!!1 ugh
Reply:Can Yahoo? ... absolutely


But they'll need complaints from more than one person to really get them working fast ...


... (and by that time, they'd have new IDs)





Your Group moderator should have new members restricted availability to post unchecked. Ask the members for volunteer moderators to check new memeber postings and approving their postings
