Several months ago I started getting very sexually explicit spam in my Yahoo Inbox (which I have SpamGuard enabled). All the spams had the following in common:
The domains advertised were hosted by Yahoo (they'd redirect to China or Russia) the domains were sold by Yahoo partner Melbourne IT all the spams were sent from compromised machines - in my opinion a professionally-run email system shouldn't be accepting Port 25 connections from residential cable modem and DSL users.
A couple months ago the spam storm abated though, I do have to wonder whether rogue elements inside Yahoo were at work.
