10/9    I can't send mail to yahoo.  I tried 4 different address.  And
        the same result:
          ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
          <address@yahoo.com>
         (reason: 553 Mail from 128.32.112.233 not allowed - VS99-IP1 deferred -
          see http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-02.html (#5.7.1))
        It seems that we are considered an open relay or something.
        Can this be fixed?
        \_ uh, hello?  see the bottom of the motd?
           \_ oops
        \_ It's been quite a few hours, and it's still a problem.  What's
           up with this?
           \_ Yahoo has already been contacted about their mistake.  What more
              do you want?
                \_ I want them to fix it, of course.  Or, maybe someone
                   understands better than me why it's taking so long.
                   \_ Because yahoo is gigantic, and has very poor external
                      communication skills.  I'm on a few lists with yahoo
                      contacts, and they have been apprised of the situation
                      and are working on it. --scotsman
        \_ doesn't nickkral work at yahoo? what a useless contact
        \_ looks like it's fixed now

help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-02.htmlYour connection may be rejected becasue the email server that you use for sending email is probably an open relay or open proxy. These types of email servers can easily be tricked into sending large amounts of unsolicited email. Many email services refuse mail from such servers, until the server has been fixed to stop relaying spam to innocent users. Otherwise, you should call technical support and alert them of the problem. You can check to see if your mail server is listed on several of the public open relay DNSBLs. Please note that if your server is not listed at this link, it may still be an open proxy or open relay.
