That's different from my yahoo experience.  I have 2 yahoo addys and didn't
start getting spam until I verified at ebay/paypal (don't know which is the
problem; registered at them the same day).  And i never get any mail at all
at my yahoo addys.  I don't have them forward any messages to my isp addy,
so maybe that is a problem?  I guess YMMV.
