It has the desired effect because all yahoo servers are whitelisted here. Yes -
we have a really big whitelist, about 700 ISPs are whitelisted with all their
passing mailservers. And this helps a lot to avoid FPS, you wouldn't beleave it.

That a ISP server is hacked and sent from it directly is not really a problem
anymore these days.

Of course. Sorry for my false example ...
