I hope that's sarcasm? Instead of getting the bounces your messages will simply go missing after they accepted it...or 
you will get bounces sent to you a few years after you sent the message...(happened to a client yesterday...).

Doing some Google searches will turn up some more background on the
issue.  We've been telling our users that Yahoo mail is problematic
and if they can to switch away from using them as their private email
or hosted email.

Maybe we all should do the same to them until they quit spewing out all the
Nigerian scams and the like that I've been seeing from their servers lately!

Naaah.  I hear that Microsoft is going to buy Yahoo!, so this problem will
go away once Yahoo! mail gets folded into Microsoft hotmail, whereupon
things will get soooooo much better!
