Hello,

The Yahoo! Mail service uses servers in the
*.mail.yahoo.com subdomain. So basically, it would
take a rule to detect HTTP access to this subdomain,
or access to http://mail.yahoo.com, which is the head
of Yahoo! Mail.
Unfortunately, adresses like f200.mail.yahoo.com,
f102.mail.yahoo.com and f130.mail.yahoo.com are not
conveniently located in the same IP network. You
cannot simply specify an IP Address range in the rule,
you would have to specify individual IP Addresses,
which would take you forever. Plus Yahoo! probably
changes these addresses every now and then, to make it
more difficult for admins to block the service, so
don't bother.
It looks like Yahoo is doing everything they can to
prevent security and IT people from restricting access
to their web services.

The IP Blocks hereunder are those of Yahoo's web
services such as Mail, Messenger, Store, Ads, etc. I
haven't checked all the services hosted in there. If
you monitor accesses to these addresses, you'll have
an idea of who's using Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Messenger,
and other free Yahoo services.
EC20-2-YAHOO1 : 216.136.172.0/22
EC20-2-YAHOO2 : 216.136.224.0/22
EC20-2-YAHOO3 : 216.136.128.0/22
EC20-2-YAHOO4 : 216.136.203.0/24
EC20-2-YAHOO5 : 216.136.232.0/22
EC20-2-YAHOO6 : 216.136.204.0/24
By blocking these address ranges, you would block many
Yahoo services (including Mail), but I haven't figured
all the entire list of services hosted in these
ranges. The way the Yahoo IP network is setup makes it
difficult to block access to some of their services,
while leaving access to others, like allowing access
to Mail, and blocking Messenger for instance).
Note : the main Yahoo website is not located in theses
ranges, the addresses are all in the 64.58.76.X
address range.
