It may be worth your time to contact Yahoo and alert them of this if it is
really an issue. If they give a hoot (and they very well may) they will put
some text on the page to use the Url and not the filename when sending links
of maps in email.
Doesn't Yahoo have a link for sending a map to somone directly on their
site.

The real issue is not one with our client base rather the other quarter of a
million people who are not our clients but send email to our servers. When
that email does not make it through it creates a problem for me.

We have the same problem.
DO NOT USE the email map link on the page
Copy and paste the link/url into an email or email link directly from
the browser to the user. The url contains all the info for creating the
map.

A soccer club sent an email regarding the location of soccer practice.
Declude appeared to catch it because of a yahoo map link to the
soccer fields. It would seem to be a common practice for someone
to use a map
link
for directions. Copy of logfile below.
How do we prevent this from happening in the future? I do
not have any
clout with Yahoo so I doubt I could get them to change their
nomenclature.
Unfortunately, filenames longer than 256 characters are very unsafe.
If Yahoo chooses to use filenames greater than 256 characters, they
need to understand that their E-mails are going to be blocked. It
sounds like Yahoo just changed their file naming system.
Note that it is fine for them to have a *link* that is longer than
256 characters, it is only the filename that has the problem. In
this case, the filename was
overviewmap_OVMAPDATA=Ypg91eR32XWTWSco9NwX6snk0KVRpsRh.tpax9mLk
followed
by at least
158 more characters.
In general, if the average person isn't going to be able to type a
filename
without making a typo after a few tries, it shouldn't be used as a
filename.
