I reply negatively, and as yahoo suggests, report the abuse. Since I don't have a yahoo address, there are some parts of the abuse that don't work, but per the web site even with a non-yahoo address I should be able to direct them to not add me to any alias - and that's not working.

I don't use yahoo addresses either. I've only written on behalf of compromised yahoo account holders that can't get into their accounts and have been spitting out spam. But it is a case by case basis.
