The longer it goes on the more they can do, and maybe try and pinpoint where the messages are originating from. Usually, a SPAMmer will have moved onto masking their e-mail with a different e-mail address by now.

My first action was to call ATT/Yahoo, to which their initial response was to direct me to file an abuse report online. fI was told that the customer service reps in our meat world could not do a thing for me, except assure me that, at that time, I hadn't been reported as a serial spammer. In that abuse report, I included the headers from the first 90 or so bounces. I think that I'll send them the 1200+ that I've cached away since then.
**UPDATE**
Did the online chat thing with ATT/Yahoo tech support. "Larry" told me to do a bunch of things that I'd already done: passsword, filters, abuse report, yadda... Now it seems that I could only be helped with live vocal contact.
So, I call the tekkies, "Jay" this time. He's shocked that I hadn't been contacted by the abuse troubleshooters. It seems that they "Have Tools" that can get to the bottom of this. I am to expect a call from them in the next couple of days.

Hey, thanks everyone for your input. This has sparked a livelier response that I expected
