[Electric Boats] OT: reducing spam on the group

 

I would suggest that everyone remove any Yahoo group email addresses from your contact lists (it's not like you need to write emails to a Yahoo group, most people can just hit reply to their email notification or post a message inside the Yahoo group itself) so that if your contact list gets hacked, you won't be sending spam to hundreds (maybe thousands) of people's mailboxes with a single group address.

I know this works because my account was hacked about a couple of months ago and my Yahoo contact list was used to send out a few spam blasts. You didn't see any of that here (or on any of the other Yahoo groups that I belong to) because I don't have any of my Yahoo group addresses in my contact list.

Fair winds (with less spam),
