Yahoo offers free email that anyone can sign up for.
Sponsoring would be going to these people and saying hey, you can make an account here if you give us X amount of the money you make
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t pay for my Yahoo account. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even sign up with my real name.

Yahoo! doesn’t sponsor it and is not liable for any email you choose to open. You assume responsibility when you sign up (you have to click the box that says I read and agree to the terms of service). Spammers don’t limit their attacks to Yahoo! – Hotmail, Gmail, Lycos, your ISP email (etc. etc. etc.) addresses are all targets, and it’s up to YOU to leave such things unattended.
