Quite a few people here just received some very suspect emails from an Xtra user containing links, Checking the headers show that the emails did originate from yahoo's servers

The problem is right across yahoo mail servers. From BTInternet.com (yahoo hosts BT mail) to yahoo.com itself

I have been receiving spam from user accounts at BTinternet.com and yahoo.com for the past month or so. oh and xtra.co.nz...

I think people need to check that they are not using "remember me" when logging to a yahoo service
