This is certainly not limited to Yahoo Groups. One of my discussion groups on the Temple University server has been receiving spam messages from a non-subscriber. None have reached the list, but I get error notices for every single one and as a result I am deleting between one hundred to two hundred of these messages daily. Once spammers get an email address, they post to it robotically whether successful or not.
Sincerely,

I'm being deluged by spam to my yahoo list owner addresses. They're all the
unpaid invoice threatening emails that I've read are either phishing attempts
or contain links with ransom ware. I am careful of course but worried I might
click on something by mistake.
Just wondering if io group owner addresses are potentially open to these attacks
even if less likely as io has fewer groups so far?
Thanks,
