If it is Yahoo then whitelist them, that's what the whitelist mechanism is there for. Yahoo has lots of subnets. You will have to find and add to your whitelist based on where the attempts come from. It is easy to write a simple awk/grep script that will give you those numbers all formatted up and ready to paste into your whitelist. Ted
