It has become my mission. Trouble is, whilst Yahoo have more pieces of the puzzle than we do, the only people we know "must" know are the spammers themselves. The information must be coded in the software doing the spamming, although possibly obliquely.

On the upside that it isn't happening from Google, or AOL, or Microsoft, on a similar scale suggests that they are running a tighter ship (or the spammers have it in for Yahoo, or maybe insider knowledge?).
