When I first open up muy yahoo account, I startd to get lot of spams.And I mean lots!Even there are some spammers that offers thousands emails.From who?I don't think that they just thought bot the idea and blast it.Surely they are first to be 'approached' by other spammers.What do you think?

If you've posted your email somewhere on the internet then a bot must have crawled your email address and added it to their spamming list. You can't do anything anymore at this point, once spammed you'll be spammed forever.
Just post email addresses in the following formats: blablabla [at] mylotmail [dot] com
;-)

I agree with diamania. Sometimes the form that you registered somehow, got into somebody's access and somehow your email been distributed to all the honorable spammers. And its not impossible that you email address been used for promotions by the company that us signed up for.

Hi, myguy09. I am not sure. I am hoping that Yahoo does not. If they do, it breaches their contract with their users.
I know that they don't tolerate spam, so I hope that they are not trying to become involved with spam either. This would be very sad if they did. But I doubt that they even do something like this.

Hello,
Did you read carefuly all of the menues when you filled out the forms openning your account.If you have marked some box for reports or news letters it mighrt start generating spam.And do not think it is Yahoo's fault.
On the other hand you can unsubscribe form this lists.
I hope it helps.
Regards,
treven
