Hmmm ... shouldn't that be
yahoo.com:[a.b.c.d]
.yahoo.com:[a.b.c.d]

You're of course right.
But then you have 10000 eMails sitting in the queue there, eating up
CPU time, wasting (not too much of course) bandwidth and slowing down
possible other deliveries on that machine.
Putting them in a Maildir takes them out of everyones way (ok, poor amanda
may have a bit more work to do ;-) You can even burn them on CD and send
them to yahoo for local injection, like they made/sent tapes in the good old
BITNET days in times the transatlantic link was down for some time ;-)
