Indeed. They were blocking our servers this morning, but without any
intervention by us (to my knowledge) it is working again now. Go

Does yahoo have any *real* mail accounts anyway? I think the only
time I actually send anything to yahoo.com mail addresses is when we
are actively hiring people. Isn't yahoo mail only used to hide job
hunting from current employers? =)
