Why are all of the old Yahoo! e mail abuse addresses coming up as failures now?

I'm getting 10 419 scams per day with Yahoo! addresses and IP addresses.I keep trying to foward them to all of the old mail abuse addresses,none of them are valid anymore.I even searched Yahoo! and used a new one in their site.That doesn't work either.So what is the proper address or addresses?

I don't want any Answers associated addresses,just mail abuse.

Update:

Are you sure about that,the mailboxes are full?

The failure notices are coming back "doesn't like recipient"

Update 2:

Just one of many:

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

<mail-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com>

(reason: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed

rcpthosts (#5.7.1))

This address used to work,it and every other fails every time now.

    There is so much abuse that Yahoo has a full mailbox and thats why all that you send is coming back.

    placed the cursor over the "link" with out clicking on it, and look on the address that shows. If it has a "tw" on the tip of it, this is fraudulent, as this is a spammer in Taiwan this is phishing for information you will possibly be keen to offer to realize reinstatement. beware!
