Well, I learned 2 things from Yahoo.
1) There is no such thing as a group email account that is accessible
to the owner.
2) SpamGuard is on automatically by default.
I guess you can, however, specify a different email account, for
example, through an ISP or purchased through Yahoo, and set up it's
email with user software for spam filtering.
Not terribly useful information, I'm afraid!
