Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Yahoo sells out every single address they can get their hands on; how
do you think they make their money?(other than the diverted clicks to
advertisements when browsing their archives, advertisements in the
emails themselves, so on.)

   If you checked the privacy options telling them you don't want them
to sell your email address, check them again- they have a habit of
resetting everyone's preferences once in a while for the hell of it.
Probably moot anyway since I'm sure there is a clause buried
somewhere to let them sell the addresses to 'business partners' or
something similarly vague.
