I started getting spam from these a$$wipes just after my birthday (in early March). I am almost positive that someone who sent me an "eCard" triggered the spam by giving my email address to the card sender. In yahoo mail (webmail) they go to a bulk folder - so they are being recognized as "different" from regular mail. Outlook lets them through as if they were a note from Mom.
I'll continue to watch this thread to see if anyone has a solution.

There are a number of eCard scams about so it would be worth updating and running your AV scan just in case.

Similarly, I would also download, "update", and run this freebie trojan finder/fixer:
A-SQUARED FREE - JUST DOWN PAGE

If these find nothing then you could block sender in Outlook but often scammers use bogus addresses which they keep changing.

I hope you are not now on the spammers data base because if so it will get worse, the only sure remedy being to change your email address.

I don't use Yahoo so can't comment.
