Hi Cindy,

I received this from another list, checked it out and it does seem to be

true. I have fixed it on my account page. You may want to forward it to the

list...

Yahoo! has changed their privacy policy and marketing rules. You may

want to re-set your marketing preferences ASAP. Yahoo! changed their

policy and signed everyone up for ALL of their email lists by

default.

There are over a dozen lists, as well as selections for PHONE and

snail mail contact. You can change these here:

http://edit.my.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile

Click on this link and log in. Then- look in the middle of the page

in

the email address section. There is a link called " Edit your

marketing

preferences " . Click on this. You will see about a dozen Yahoo!

mailing

lists, as well as selections for outside mailing lists, phone, and

snail mail. By default- these are all set to YES.

They are supposedly sending out messages to everyone, but are saying

it may take several weeks. In the meantime, they can happily

release

your contact information to others in accordance with their

changed policy.

PS from Cindy B

Some people had no trouble with this link, but I could not get through with

this link. I had to go to the privacy policy at yahoo. There is a link to

marketing preferences on that page also.
