> I've had these problems with Yahoo mail too.

I have JAMES in production on a static IP and it works just fine with Yahoo
and Hotmail, and everything else.

I am on several Yahoo-based mailing lists, and have noticed some timeouts
with Yahoo lately, but that's why they have (and we try) multiple servers
during delivery.  And why servers (are supposed to) make many attempts for
mail.

It is a constant battle against the spam gangs.  Last night I noticed a
storm where in about 9 hours we had more than 72K connections rejected
because there were more than the maximum connections already in use, and
that's in addition to handled over 50K connections (and message attempts) in
that same period.  Much of the traffic was generated by legitimate servers,
particularly prodigy.net's mail servers, sending bounces for forged traffic
sent by spambots.  The traffic dropped off a couple of hours ago, possibly
when mail administrators got into their offices and saw their traffic, and
things are back to normal.
