Shady spammers getting more creative with links

It’s dawning on me that the shady emailers have no intention of dialing back their malicious messages, so I might just have to ramp of the amount of warnings I post here.  Take that “Mr. Rasim Hassan of Burkina Faso”!!!  By the way, no offense to any actual Rasim Hassans out there.  It just so […]

Where are the YMailers - Round 2

For Round 2 of our user submitted “YMailing” images we have a couple of pics that come to us all the way from India.
Abhilash tells me that he utilizes GPRS (not sure if that’s strictly through a mobile device or if he tethers it to his laptop as a modem…but either way is good) to […]

Where’s Matt? He’s with Liam (and me, and Jerry, and more)!

Believe it or not this was a total coincidence. Shorty after I posted about having seen the Where the Hell is Matt? video (and thus requesting your photo submissions showcasing where you use Yahoo! Mail) we were informed by the Yodel editor that Matt was going to make a speaking appearance at our main campus.
