how does one report spam FROM a yahoo user?

i keep getting spam from a specific user. it comes to me with an incomming address in the format of a few letters separated by periods at live. com (example: f. mf. org at live. com (i assume a generated address), but using GMX.de's interesting spam identifier service, i have tracked down the originator's e-mail address, which is the same name he used in the e-mail. i would like to report it. is this possible?

the originator is: bensonjacksolicitors at yahoo.co.uk

i believe this account needs to be reported to administration for review.

    Scam messages that originate from Y! Mail accounts should be sent to the following addresses:

    phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com

    mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com

    Note that Customer Care takes these violation reports very seriously and will terminate the spammers' Y! accounts, per the Terms of Service.

    i've got mentioned countless circumstances of unsolicited mail and different abuses. Out of each and all of the failings i've got mentioned, purely a million have been given deleted. So.. now I do purely not care anymore. I take my time to document, yet they don't take time to delete... so it particularly is a completely waste of time.

    Can you not just send them an e-mail, I mean you have their address! Incidently live.com is a windows live email address.
