Important business users, with Yahoo accounts? Is that a joke?
Just as a reference point:
- I just logged into my long-unused, and un-publicized yahoo email
account - and the only thing there is Spam
- the lion's share of mail that comes from yahoo, to my normal account,
is spam
- unfortunately, a good number of people on the email lists that I run
seem to have Yahoo mail accounts - and a good amount of the mail that
comes from those accounts is... you guessed it... spam - because yahoo
email accounts seem to be vulnerable to cracking and exploitation
So, just who is it that Yahoo is protecting here?

Most important users are not IT experts, and use email for personal
exchange. Yahoo has signed an agreement with users to protect its
information system, so all seem to follow that, and all users are free
to stop using services or not.

Why hasn't Yahoo rolled back its 'reject' policy by now?
