Been getting random Yahoo Instant Message spams from what seems like an automated robot. Is there a SpamCop for instant messengers?

I don't know of a specific spamcop type for IM and unfortunately I doubt Yahoo would care.

It is an interesting question though, I had never thought of it before. Maybe there should be.

I think IM and spamming mobile phones will be the upcoming form of spam, especially if there are methods in place to block or report them. It's easy to spam serially along a group of numbers with email equivalent for your mobile number like 2125551212@mobile.company.net
