At the time of writing this I think its better than it was earlier:
spawn:/home/markjr/tmp# telnet mx1.mail.yahoo.com 25 Trying 64.157.4.78... Connected to mta-v22.level3.mail.yahoo.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 YSmtp mta107.mail.sc5.yahoo.com ESMTP service ready quit
and then the next second:
221 mta107.mail.sc5.yahoo.com Connection closed by foreign host. spawn:/home/markjr/tmp# telnet mx1.mail.yahoo.com 25 Trying 64.157.4.79... Connected to mta-v23.level3.mail.yahoo.com. Escape character is '^]'. 553 Mail from 216.220.40.247 not allowed - VS99-IP1 deferred - see help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-02.html (#5.7.1) Connection closed by foreign host.
Same deal on mx2, looks about 50/50 for a while, then blocks us out for a few minutes.
Ditto, here, from all our inbound and outbound MXes.
