Does Yahoo just chuck out SPAM?

It's quite funny really. I made this Yahoo address simply to use Yahoo answers. I have in no way used this email anywhere else other than to log onto here. I haven't signed up for anything and this machine is spyware free, nothing but amazingly I get spam emails. Hmmmmmmmmm.

You can set your Bulk mail, which IS spam, to be deleted as fast as it arrives. That will be found under Spam, which is under Options (This is with the Classic Mail, not Beta.) And the reason you get email is simply this:

Spammers have automated scripts that send emails out using a "dictionary attack". This means their script just sends out tons of emails to various combinations of numbers and letters at different domains. Kind of like if you just started calling phone numbers starting with 100-100-0000 then 100-100-0001, etc. They don't know what is a valid email address and what is not. When you reply to one (try to unsubscribe, or replying back telling them how you hate them), you are now confirming your email address is a real, live email address. They have special lists of those, because they know they're guaranteed real. They then sell those lists to other spammers at a premium. Then you get more spam!

I created another Yahoo email address a couple of months ago as a test. I have not gotten a single piece of spam.

You either posted your address someplace, the address belonged to someone in the past, or it is too simple.
