This statement turns out to be inoperative.  Elizabeth now plausibly
denies this, claiming that she never said they were still conducting a
massive spam attack.[1]  What's happening is that the spammers are
sending a small number of probes to check whether Yahoo! (and
presumably AOL as well) retracts "p=reject".


Footnotes: 
[1]  This is true.  She said they "never stopped", without specifying
what they hadn't stopped.
