The spammer
 
If anyone is interested I sent a email to Yahoo and asked for his account to
be shut down.

They usually respond in 24 hours to me about these. The bozo will probably
just get another account and then we can send abuse mail to that ISP.

Hello,

Unless it's a Yahoo client, they probbly won't be able
to do much, but they CAN ban his address/es from using
their access ports, IF they want to.
Did you also get any spamvertised web sites into the
complaint? They're worth reporting too.

Luck!

The spammer doesn't care. Many of these AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail
addresses are just throw-away accounts. Spammers change email
addresses when they change socks (parden the pun).

I think they change email addresses more often than they change socks,
or underwear. However, usually they are selling something, and the URL
of that doesn't change, so it might be more effective to complain to
that location than to their latest email address.

I'll take it as read that you don't know how to track back postings. The
current deluge is not coming from Yahoo. The USENET postings are coming
from the Spanish ISP ono.com and if you will look at the list of names
in the "send money to" list you will find one consistent poster from
Spain in all of them (at least in the dozens I've bothered to check). If
you want to complain to someone (it won't do a bit of good but it might
make you feel better) send a complaint to about Señor
Perez in Valladolid.
