My Yahoo address is getting spoofed bounce-backs. How do I stop this?
Today I found myself with more that 500 bounce-back e-mails in my Yahoo account. I have set up a filter to send most of them into a separate folder, Just In Case.
But this is bogus. How do I stop this? I am obviously being spoofed. From what I can tell it is through my web page. I set up my web page through Yahoo. The e-mail connected with the page is this account, although it would actually be typed out with the domain name of the web page. That is why I trace it back to my page. The messages reference that domain, not Yahoo.
1) How to do I stop it?
2) How do I report it?
Yahoo's "Help" pages do not address spoofing at all. As a matter of fact a search for the term comes up empty. So I need your help.
Thanks
In just last couple of hours it is up to 1200 messages. Obviously I am not going to forward thousands of messages to Yahoo. Thanks for the address. Reporting is good. Stopping is better.

If you received an email impersonating Yahoo! and would like to report it please forward the email to: mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com. If you have already been tricked into giving your password, please visit http://security.yahoo.com/article.html?a...
and follow the instructions there. Also: http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lo...
