I have done this before. The problem with this particular group is that the 
owner vanished 2 years ago. Yahoo will not appoint a new owner.
Yahoo refuses to take action against this user or admit a problem exists.. 
This group is not the only one he uses to propagate his spam. I would 
estimate that his spam is sent to 20 other groups at the same time as the 
mail headers lists the groups he sends to. That is why I said thousands of 
users get spammed with only a single email.

I must them assume SC is on the side of yahoo and maybe benefits in the form 
of some of economic gain.
