That is a bad practice for following reason, if you have a relay server like many of us and some bozo sends a dictionary attack to your relay and the spasm have a forged yahoo from address, After your relay attempts to deliver to your backend server it will end up having to bounce all the invalid ones back to the sender. Now you are trying to bounce 2000 messages back to yahoo and they block you. That sucks.

That's why they try to block you. It happened to me a few times before. I delete these bad messages from the queue.
