I have been receiving bounces to my yahoo account for email I did not

account was compromised, but I really doubt that given the password I
chose and the fact they did not change it to lock me out. I did change
the password however. Each address in this e-mail are people I have
sent to from yahoo, but these people are not connected to each other
except for the work accounts. The "common thread" is me. of course.
we have seen lots of this lately. if you catch it really quickly, you
might see it in the sent folder.
I will (under separate email since I don't want to 'spam' the list) send
you an alert we did on it.
anyone wanting it, can email me and I'll send it to you.
I have seen these for years but I do not see how the cracked my account
brute force. I am not implying it is impossible but ... My password uses
letters and numbers. It would take a long time to crack this and why
bother when they would get million of account before cracking my
account? It seems more like they compromised yahoo and stole accounts.
Anyway, is there any other way to send mail as in the pastebin.
