On the tenth day of November 2005, runaway classified advertising success CraigsList began blocking subscription mail 
to Hotmail, Yahoo and BT Yahoo Internet (formerly known as BTOpenworld).

CraigsList administrators complained that the yahooligans can't handle incoming mail traffic, deferring messages much 
of the day. This in turn was causing CraigsList mailservers to back up.

As if that wasn't bad enough, Hotmail was creating similar outcomes, though the causes were different.
