Thanks for the update Jared. I can understand your request to not be used as a proxy, but it exposes the reason why Yahoo is thought to be clueless: They are completely opaque.
They can not exist in this community without having some visibity and interaction on an operational level.
I heartily second this. Yahoo (and Hotmail) (and Comcast and Verizon) mail system personnel should be actively participating here, on mailop, on spam-l, etc. A lot of problems could be solved (and some avoided) with some interaction.

Why should large companies participate here about mail issues? Last I checked this wasn't the mailing list for these issues: "NANOG is an educational and operational forum for the coordination and dissemination of technical information related to backbone/enterprise networking technologies and operational practices." But lets just say for a second this is the place to discuss company xys's mail issue. What benefit do they have participating here? Likely they'll be hounded by people who have some disdain for their company and no matter what they do they will still be evil or wrong in some way. It is easy for someone who has 10,000 users to tell someone who has 50 million users what to do when they don't have to work with such a large scale enterprise. I find it funny when smaller companies always tell larger companies what they need to be doing. -- Ross ross [at] dillio.net 314-558-6455
