Us too. And more than one ISP that I have seen (for example, iglou.com mentioned that one of their boxes was being blocked)

Something looks badly borked there.

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

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? =)
