Why do I keep receiving this same message several times over?
I keep getting a question from the "Yahoo! Answers Team" in my email, multiple times at once. I have received 14 in the past two days, and they're not even in English. They are all the same, its outrageous! What does one do to make this stop?
This is the content of the message:
Hi Jordan,
Yahoo Answers Team, a Contact in your Yahoo Answers Network, just asked the following question:
¿Tendrá Miguel Herrera que cambiar su actitud frente al Mundial 2013?
Do you know the answer or someone who does? Click the link above to answer, or forward this email to someone who can help. Thanks!
The Yahoo Answers Team

It sounds like you're receiving notices from one of the foreign Y!A portals for some reason.
If it's another user trying to contact you, you can disable email contact in your preferences. Or you could deduce which link in the email shows the sender's profile and block them from there.
If you're receiving point deductions, those are violation notices from a foreign portal. Appeal them if you disagree that the quoted content was in violation. There's an alternate appeal form listed on the Y!A suggestion board if you need it.
If you're willing to post the content from one of the notices here, perhaps we could help figure it out.
EDIT: Well, there you go. You're connected to a staff account asking questions on a foreign portal. (I'm not sure why they are; that account formerly participated in English.) Just disconnect from the account or edit your preferences to disable email notifications.

The site is glitching like crazy so that may be part of it. RIGHT click the email, select "filter" emails like this and choose" by Subject" and "Send to Trash". All new emails with that subject will them go straight to your at rash folder.
