This is spam. Look at the senders address and the domain is not coming from Yahoo!. Also probably on your actual email, the link to yahoo would direct you to a fake site, where they would steal your identity. Hope this help

Whichever provider you use (and I bet you're talking about Yahoo! Mail) just look at the starting of the email, where you have To, From and other fields. You'll find a small link around there saying 'Show Full Headings' or somehing like that. Just click on it. It'll give you loads of bewildering info, but if I'm right, all you need to do is to copy-paste and and send the whole thing before the message to your ISP/email provider (I'm gyessing that this is a spam related query).\nIf you want to investigate yourself, just look at the path the email took, it'll be mentioned.\nNow if you want to go back to normal headers, just click on 'Show Concise header' or small header, whatever. You'll be back to normal.

oh, that is the wrong thing to do "unsubcribe" that is what they want you to do that lets them know you do have a valid e-mail address.  Just mark it as spam mail and delete it or contact your internet provider.\n\nP.S. there usually isn't a way to track the person who is sending the spam mail :(

It happened to me long time ago and I wanted that address very bad because I had very good history of chess but I couldn't.\n\nI didn't even contact Yahoo, just changed the address. \n\nThere are many bugs in Yahoo, for example these days you can't make a group no matter how much you try. There are 3 steps and You get stuck on step1 because they forgot to put a button that leads to Step2. This thing happened when they changed the page.\n\nI mentioned it here and didn't even report to Yahoo.

Like it was suggested, they probably blocked you by accident.\n\nYou already know that others on hotmail don't have any issues.  Therefore, you know it has nothing to do with you being on Yahoo! or the recipients being on Hotmail.  There are options to check off emails and label as junk mail within the Hotmail interface.  It's possible that this was accidently done on one of the emails you sent in.  It's probably going straight to their junk mail folder.

If you're using Yahoo email, open it up and look in the upper right corner for "options" in blue letters.  Click on options and you should see a submenu for managing spam (also in blue letters). Click on that and you can adjust your spam settings.\n\nplrr

The article follows. But if you have been receiving these emails: don't open; forward to your abuse@yahoo.com and categorize as spam.\n\nAlso, ensure your virus protector up to date.After you update it, run a COMPLETE scan just to be sure.\n\nAlso, you can set up your virus protection/filters not to allow the title and content of the email to get to your box but to be diverted immediately to SPAM and added to your BLOCK addresses.\n\n-------------------------------\nYahoo, world's most popular e-mail, hit by worm Tue Jun 13, 1:48 AM \n\nLAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news), the world's \nlargest provider of e-mail services, said on Monday that a software \nvirus aimed at Yahoo Mail users had infected "a very small fraction" \nof its base of more than 200 million accounts. \n\nThe e-mail virus, or worm, has been dubbed Yamanner and landed in \nYahoo mailboxes bearing the headline "New Graphic Site." Once \nopened, the message infects the computer and spreads to other users \nlisted in Yahoo users' e-mail address books, security experts said.\n\nThe e-mail containing the virus need only be opened -- in contrast \nto most worms that are hidden in attachments and require users to \ntake an additional step -- to release the virus, according to \ncomputer security site Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq:SYMC - news).\n\nThe Sunnyvale, California-based company advised users to update \nvirus and firewall software on their computers and to block any e-\nmail sent from the address " av3@...."\n\n"We have taken steps to resolve the issue and protect our users from \nfurther attacks of this worm," Yahoo spokeswoman Kelley Podboy said \nin a statement.\n\n"When we learn of e-mail abuse, such as a worm or other online \nthreat, we take appropriate action," she said. "(A) solution has \nbeen automatically distributed to all Yahoo Mail customers, and \nrequires no additional action on the part of the user."\n\nYamanner, first detected by Yahoo and major computer anti-virus \nsoftware makers earlier on Monday, was ranked as having a low threat \nlevel by Trend Micro Inc. (Nasdaq:TMIC - news) and McAfee Inc. \n(NYSE:MFE - news)\n\nBut Symantec considers the worm an "elevated threat," one step up \nfrom the lowest ranking in terms of relative danger.\n\nSymantec's Security Response site suggested Yahoo Mail users might \nprotect themselves by upgrading to the latest test version of the \nrecently upgraded Yahoo Mail software.\n\n"The worm cannot run on the newest version of Yahoo Mail Beta," \nSymantec's site said.\n\nA Yahoo spokesman was not immediately available to comment on \nwhether the company advised users to do this.\n\nThe worm exploits a vulnerability in Javascript technology used to \nmake the mail program easier to use by triggering embedded HTML \nscripts to run in the computer user's browser.\n\nThe e-mail addresses are also sent to a remote online computer \nserver, which may be used to run spam campaigns, experts said. The \ntechnical name of the worm goes by variants of " JS.Yamanner."

Try to Google for your email address - if you find it in a google search, its tickets for that email address, I'm afraid.\n\nAs the person said above, ditch that email and start again, if you can. I would recommend (in addition to your gmail account), using www.sneakemail.com for disposable email addresses that you can set up for those horrible websites that require you to register with your email - you really don't want to be giving away your private email to these people.\n\nInstead, with sneakemail, you set up a sneakemail address, and they will forward any emails to that address to the address you specify (ie, your google account). You can label the addresses, so you can easily see where it came from. \n\nFor example, you register with BookShopazon.com (just an arb example). You label the sneakemail address with "BookShopazon". Then, six months later if you start getting spam with that label, you know BookShopazon has either sold your details or they were hacked. No problem. You can set this email address to soft bouncing (most spam won't get through) or hard bouncing, or even delete that address and generate a new address to use with BookShopazon.com.\n\nI use this quite successfully to control my spam. I hate spam a lot. Spam spam spam spam ... sorry, got carried away there (Monty Python fan).

Do you receive any emails at your yahoo email account at all? Say if you send yourself an email, are you able to get it? How about doing a search of 'ebay' to see if the mails are in some other folders. \n\nI also suggest you contact Yahoo Mail customer care:  http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/ , where there is a link near the end of the page.

There is a way to make a mailing list that is unviewable. I encounter them all the time at my school.\n\nSadly just the people who mailed you listed as spam and move on.

which service are you using...\n\nHotmail/AOL/Yahoo/Gmail all have spam and junk folders (usually listed on the left side of the page)\n\nClick on that...and all your spam will be there\n\nFor the future, add the email address of whoever you want to recive it from in you safe list .

did you log into it (mail.yahoo.com).  You would have received a welcome email from yahoo.  You can also send an email to that address from another, and see if it bounces back - it wil bounce back if the account is not set up

either you have given your address to a site that has sold it to others, or someone you know has used your info and it has meant spam to your inbox. dont reply to it, dont even clink on the links that say will stop the emails. list them as spam in your inbox and eventually they will stop.
