If it is in your Yahoo mail account, check the box next to the offending mail, and then hit the SPAM button at the top. I have done that several times, and know it goes directly to my bulk mail folder.

The spam may be spread through many ways…! Sometimes spam may be due to viruses or spyware. Many hours are wasted due to spam email. However, by taking simple precautions while giving out your email and installing updated free software, you can prevent spam. More info available at

Welll, one way to reduce what you get is to go to your Yahoo acct (click on My Account) and make sure that you unchecked all the boxes under Edit Your Marketing Preferences. It's possible you enabled what you're receiving and now you need to disable it all.

reporting will do nothing...
they used a smtp spoof... and even though they left an IP, my guess is that it was not theirs...
sorry there is nothing you can do,
