We have more than 37,000 subscribers at yahoo.com. If they want to give me the opportunity to pre-emptively whitelist our site, I'm not going to say no. I only wish AOL were so solicitous. (I have not received this note allegedly from Yahoo! staff.) Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't understand why this note is supposed to be so absurd. Some of it is really poorly worded (the bit about domains that appear in outgoing "From" headers, for example), but most of the letter sounds reasonable and sensible to me.
