[Outages-discussion] [outages] Yahoo mail issues

[Frank Bulk]

I now have 8x more email backed up now than an hour ago, and all MXes are
timing out.

Yahoo merchant services confirms that there was an issue with any Yahoo!
service that required a login:

They claim that it started at 9:51 am Pacific and was resolved by 11:02 am
Pacific.

We analyze our queues hourly, and at 12:17 pm Central we had a good number
of messages for yahoo.com in our outbound queues, all because of "connection
refused" or "connection reset by peer".

So there definitely is/was something amiss.

Looking at our logs here, not seeing any problem - steady flow of mail to 
yahoo.com addresses with successful deliveries. Going mostly all through:

mta5.am0.yahoodns.net
mta6.am0.yahoodns.net
mta7.am0.yahoodns.net
