As someone pointed out off-list, there's plenty of @yahoo.com email addresses.
However, IP addresses for mail seem to use ARIN networks, such as:
A-YAHOO-US2 66.163.160.0-66.163.191.255,
A-YAHOO-US3 209.191.64.0-209.191.127.255,
...
A-YAHOO-US8 67.195.0.0-67.195.255.255,
A-YAHOO-US9 98.136.0.0-98.139.255.255,
...
RIPE's YAHOONET, 77.238.177.0-77.238.177.255, seems to be an abandoned object.

Subject: [anti-abuse-wg] What is YAHOONET?

Hi all,
I'm aware of the various pages that Wikipedia dedicate to Yahoo! and related
services. I'm unsure how to treat YAHOONET as an ISP.
The abuse contact they registered at RIPE in 2007 is ab...@yahoo-inc.com. It
bounces. I wrote to network-ab...@cc.yahoo-inc.com asking what address should
I use for complaints. I got an automated reply telling me to go to:
https://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?page=contact&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML
That link ultimately redirects to the same host/path with the query string
replaced by "page=oops".
I had tried to contact someone at Yahoo! before. I don't think it's worth
trying again. So I think I'm going to put YAHOONET in the heavily firewalled
list of ISPs with no abuse team. I hesitated because I used to consider Yahoo!
something big, with possibly many worthy customers. Is it still so? I mean,
would any savvy netizen face the Internet through such an ISP?
Best
Ale
