my yahoo account is being pounded with new spam recently.  a dramatic
upswing over the last week!

my gmail is mainly for reading and responding to mailing lists , that is, my
"regular" email traffic does not hit gmail.

yahoo has no way to filter a TLD, so i can't squash .info and all those
little, spam-haven countries.
